Does Jorge Still Have It ?

Jorge Posada is 40 years old with four World Series rings, a .273 career average, and 275 career home runs. He's been in the Majors now for 17 years. Pretty impressive. But can he pull out another productive one or two years. That's been a big question since the start of the off-season. ESPN Deportes have said that the Tampa Bay Rays is the front runner and are showing the most interest. But he wouldn't be the main guy behind the plate. That role is for 36 year old Jose Molina. Posada will probably end up being a DH or a back-up catcher/first baseman. But whether he will even play next year is up to him.

Where Does Prince Fit Best

Prince Fielder, arguably the best power hitter in the game today, is still on the market. But why. To be honest, no one really knows. But the reason I think is because he just isn't getting the contract he deserves. I've been watching and reading up, and people are saying that he doesn't deserve what Pujols got and should try to get a short contract. I think they're wrong. First of all, I think he should settle for about six years. If he does this , he still can sign for even more money after, and he'll still be in his mid thirties. Even though it's not ten years, I think he should get the same amount of money Pujols would get in six years. In my next conversation, I want to talk about which team prince will be best with. Right now when you break down things like which team has the money, or which team has the money, but aren't looking for that type of player, or maybe which team he can bring the most wins. With a couple crunched numbers, Prince is estimated to be worth about 16 extra wins to a team. The teams that look the best are the Rangers, the Marlins, and the Orioles. I think the team that can use him the most are the Orioles. They obviously need wins. Also, they don't have Derrick Lee anymore and need another power bat to help out Vladimir Gurrero.

Beltran Signs two year contract with the Cards

This might be the best move so far this off-season. Of course your first thought might be that the best move is Pujols to LA. But what makes this the biggest move is Albert leaving St. Luis. Carlos Beltran signed a two-year contract for $26 million with the Cardinals. Of course he replaces the big bat. But is that the only thing they got. You might be missing a big point. Who is going be the first baseman. Well look at the right fielder from last year, Lance Berkman. By getting Beltran, you are able to move Berkman back to his primary position. The Cardinals look like they're back on their way to the October classic!

Gio Gonzalez aquired by the Washington Nationals

Gio Gonzalez, maybe the best pitcher that was left on the market, was traded to the Washington Nationals for four minor league players. If you know anything about baseball, then you know that the Nationals have been arguably the worst team in the past decade. But with rising stars like Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, they soon could be a team to be reckoned with. Gio Gonzalez has had a pretty average career with 38 wins and a sub-4.00 ERA. But this young slinger has seemed to become more and more of a threat. In 2010, Gonzalez had 171 strikeouts. More than both of his first two years combined. But there is another big key thing that the Nationals need, Jason Werth. After a weak year in 2011, they're going to need him to lead the team and do what he did in Philadelphia.
