More players are starting to show up at spring training now.

02-10-2010, 02:19 PM

Free-agent left-hander Jarrod Washburn said Wednesday that he is waiting for the "right offer," is in no hurry to sign a new contract and retiring is an option.

As the clock ticks toward the start of Spring Training, Washburn is on the same pre-camp routine as always, running and playing catch almost every day.

"I'm just sitting back to see what comes my way," Washburn said.

Interesting..

Mets haven't grabbed one pitcher in the off-season. I'd take a gamble on Washburn.

You guys could use him.

Is that the rotation or DL.

Frank Thomas will be announcing his retirement. He is 18th on the career HR list with 521 and to my knowledge has never been implicated in a steroid scandal.

MedicCook · 02-12-2010, 12:06 AM

Tom Glavine is also expected to announce his retirement. He is a 300 game winner.

Whynot · 02-12-2010, 05:32 AM

2 of my favorites growing up. I think Glavine and Maddux will go in the Hall together 4 yrs from now. Glavine should be eligible then since he didn't pitch last year. I think the days of 300 game winners are dwindling.

MedicCook · 02-12-2010, 10:30 AM

You are correct about 300 game winners. We may see 1 or 2 more in our lifetime.

The Giants and Tim settled before walking into the arbitration hearing this morning.

Lincecum gets 8 mil in 2010, 13mil in 2011 plus 2 mil signing bonus (1 mil each year).

Sorry Mac, it's hard not to.

Any A's fans in here?
I want to know why the A's wanted Rosales and Tavares from Cincinnati, only to DFA Tavares as soon as he arrives? This makes no sense.

We dumped Tavares so I can't complain, I just don't see the logic in it from the A's perspective.

kelmac07 · 02-13-2010, 10:27 AM

Didn't make sense to me either Andy.

Maybe they had to take him to get Rosales.

Rosales has hustle, but he's not worth the overall price they spent if that was the reason. They put pretty much paid about 1.5 to 2 million for him. Not worth it for a guy who probably won't make the 40 man roster after ST.

MedicCook · 02-13-2010, 10:50 AM

Well nobody said the A's were smart.

02-13-2010, 11:17 AM

Any predictions on where Damon will be?

MedicCook · 02-13-2010, 11:18 AM

If it is true that the Braves offered $4M 1yr, White Sox offered $3.5M 1yr, and the Tigers $14M 2 yr, I would put my money on Detroit.
