Wood maybe to Cleveland. 2 years with option. Good deal for indians. Lewis and Wood give them a pretty salty 8th and 9th innings.

Ramon hernandez to Reds.

Maybe Weinters gets a chance to make O's team in spring training? Hate to see Freel go as he was a fun player to watch but his game is all legs and hamstring tears are scary. I dont think either of the prospects to the O's are highly rated.

Done for at least this year, and his days as a Met are probably over.

There's still a few available. K-Rod was unbelievable last year, but I just get the feeling that the Mets bought the top here. He is a huge upgrade, but they still have some other holes to fill.

KRod made $10M last year and Billy Wags $10.5M

Now $37M for three years .

Let's see if the bad economy continues to impact baseball salaries so severely

I can't think of many worse things for a baseball team than losing leads late. People sure overthink stuff a lot in this game. You know what? Anybody got the damn video of the playoffs. Take a look n' you will see this fat boy on an underdog team blowing the Cubs away to take the 1st round. Then(when expected to have a decent chance,) when not such a big longshot, watch the same fatboy get tight against the Phils. That's not an aberration. Mentally he is zero, nothing (oh so hollow.) Same as Billingsley. It's like they have the same retarded mother. He really gunna go into the new season with that to close games with? I mean really. You gunna really have 56k people at Dodger stadium waiting to see which fat boy shows up? You have not seen the last of the fat boy who loses his command, and then throws slowly down the middle of the plate. If he gets tight, he can't blow people away. He can't throw it fast,then. If he does, then it will be way outside. They know what they've got. If they have that to close games with, then it's gunna be a real long painful year.
