Diamondbacks have signed Eric Hinske to a one-year deal.
As bad as he was last year, I'm sad to see him go. His playoff 2-run homer against Sergio Romo should have lived forever if it weren't for Conrad.

If it is really only 4 years Amro better get on the phone.
LOL at your new tag.
The word is that Red Sox was going to jump in Hamilton race only if he agrees to a 3yr deal.
Goddamned Shouta!

Jason Bay is never going to hit a homer ever again confirmed
Best ballpark for a player with the hitting prowess of Jason Bay to go to.
Why? The Mets aren't going to get more for Dickey at the deadline when the trade partner can't tender him a qualifying offer and get two firsts back if he's one and done.
This is his peak market value right now. Why would fans be satisfied about hanging onto a 38 year old pitcher for one more year when the team is basically guaranteed to not be competitive for that one year?
I personally don't want Dickey on the Red Sox, I'd rather they sent Salty for Gavin Floyd myself, but the Mets failing to move Dickey for his best return this off-season is just handicapping their rebuilding efforts, not helping them.
They aren't likely to land a single A level prospect for Dickey so they should do the smart thing and go after a handful of B/B+ types who can fill in the 25 man roster holes for years ahead and hopefully catch a break out player.

And that changes things...how?
hamilton will drop a flyball. Bay will hit a inside the parker.

It'll be pretty hard for Jason Bay to not be an upgrade over the likes of Justin Smoak and Jesus Montero.

Heyman reports the Giants are currently the front-runner for Nick Swisher.

Enjoy that playoff clutchness. No right field porch to save him now.
Brandon Belt to languish on the bench?
Oh nooooes at a 3 win player and wRC+ 120 plus over the last four years.

Bidding on Marco Scutaro said to have reached something in the range of 3 years, $24 million; SF viewed as frontrunner by source involved.

Swisher can't come through in the playoffs; where it counts.
I wouldn't want him on my team either. Can't stand the guy.

Bochy will always find a way to bench belt.
Izturis at 3/9 seems pretty good, even if he's only starting 100-110.
A player can be the biggest dick in the world, but as long as he's productive I couldn't care less.
I would take Bay over Nick Swisher.

He's not even a dick. He's one of the best club house guys you can have on your team. Giants fans are going to love his enthusiasm. If it wasn't for his awful playoff performances The Yankees would of resigned him.
It's because of the $189 mill budget that they won't sign him, not because of his awfulness in the playoffs.
I don't really believe in this nonsense so it doesn't bother me

That's bullshit. Swisher has been dreadful in the playoffs. If you don't think that's not taken into account into potentially resigning him, then I don't know what to tell you. The Yankees can't have the same squad of ineptitude in the playoffs each year.
With arguments like this, you could be the best lawyer in the world.

Hopefully the Phils will hear those numbers and reach for the checkbook. Either give him a 5th year or offer way more money.

I see your team choking more in the future. LMAO @ paying BJ Upton 17 mil to hit to .250

Maybe Hamilton should hold off from rushing on that deal.
Holy Shit. Desperation
main competition for Victorino is Cleveland and they are offering 4 yrs.
