by Chris Haft at 21:00 PM, 02/08/2010

All-Stars, Hall of Famers sing Mays' praises

A system that has graduated a ton of talent to the big leagues already has more on the way.

Unveiling a new statistic that provides a clearer picture of pitcher performance.

The Mariners add the third man, the Jays add depth, and the Dodgers extend an invitation.

Alternating left-handed and right-handed relievers by temporarily shifting them to the outfield is an old strategy to reconsider.

The notable quotables from the week that was.

The Dodgers have signed Brian Giles to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training, the team said.

Veteran outfielder Brian Giles has signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers said Sunday that Giles has been invited to big league camp. A career .291 hitter, Giles batted just .191 in 61 games last season with the San Diego Padres. The 39-year-old Giles did not play after going on the disabled list June 19 with a bruised right knee.

Two of the Orioles' greatest third basemen are confident Miguel Tejada can replicate their success in switching from another infield position to the hot corner.

FILE - In this June 2, 2009, file photo Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Erik Bedard(notes) throws during baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles in Seattle. A person with knowledge of negotiations told The Associated Press on  Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010, that Seattle and the oft-injured left-hander who cost the team five prospects in a 2008 trade are getting close to a one-year contract, pending a physical that could be tricky. The former Orioles ace has been in his native Canada doing rehabilitation following surgery in August on a torn labrum in his pitching shoulder.

Despite shoulder surgeries and disappointment in Seattle during each of the last two seasons, free-agent left-hander Erik Bedard is coming back to the Mariners. General manager Jack Zduriencik announced Saturday the team and the oft-injured 30-year-old agreed to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2011.


Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum ready for arbitration hearing

by Associated Press at 23:40 PM, 02/05/2010

Tim Lincecum is prepared to hear some harsh criticism in an arbitration hearing with the San Francisco Giants -- perhaps even delving into his offseason pot bust.

Reliever Kevin Gregg agreed Friday to a $2.75 million, one-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, a deal that could be worth $11.5 million over three seasons. Toronto has a $4.5 million option for 2011 or an option for 2011 and 2012 that would pay $8.75 million over two seasons. Gregg was 5-6 with 23 saves and a 4.72 ERA for the Chicago Cubs last year.

The ball Alex Rodriguez hit for his 500th home run has sold at auction for $103,579.

For the second straight year following a 2008 bumper crop of hitters that included Pedro Alvarez, Buster Posey, Gordon Beckham and Justin Smoak, the college pitching talent significantly dwarfs the position players available in the draft. The disparity is even more glaring on our preseason All-America team selected by major league scouting directors, which includes only NCAA Division I players and thus excludes CC of Southern Nevada catcher Bryce Harper, the top overall prospect and best power hitter in the 2010 draft. Furthermore, the top D-I position player is Rice sophomore third baseman Anthony Rendon, who won't be draft-eligible until 2011.

College Baseball's Best Of The Decade

at 09:13 AM, 02/03/2010

To celebrate the recently completed decade, we put together an All-2000s team to honor the best of the best. Like our annual All-America teams, this team recognizes four starting pitchers, three outfielders, one two-way or "utility" player and one player at every other position. We selected the team and our decade award winners by sending out ballots to every Division I head coach, and 150 of them responded. Pie charts for each position indicate what percentage of the vote each player got at his position. The highest vote-getters who did not make the team were then considered for the DH position.

From several angles, the AL West could prove to be the best division in baseball.
