Uribe Closing in on Roster Spot

Per SFGate: "After Juan Uribe homered twice in a 7-5, 10-inning loss to Texas on Monday, manager Bruce Bochy came awfully close to saying the 30-year-old would make the team."

Free agent prediction thread

I was assuming that someone would have posted one of these late last week at the opening of the free agent market, but I guess I’ll toss it up before the guessing gets taken away.

Team / Years / Total Salary for the following twelve:

CC Sabathia: Yankees/7 years/$162M
AJ Burnett: Yankees/4 years/$65M
Ben Sheets: Dodgers/2 years/$36M
Francisco Rodriguez: Rangers/4 years/$50M
Brian Fuentes: Indians/4 years/$40M
Mark Teixeira: Angels/6 years/$120M
Orlando Hudson: Blue Jays/3 years/$28M
Rafael Furcal: Ginats/4 years/$50M
Edgar Renteria: Cardinals/3 years/$30M
Adam Dunn: Indians/4 years/$55M
Manny Ramirez: Mets/4 years/ $95M
Milton Bradley: Seattle/2 years/$36M

Bonus question: Where is Peavy pitching next season? (Prediction: Cubs)

Take your shot (or just ridicule my stupid guesses)…

You know you want it!!!

Chulk Signs

Scottsdale — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 18:49:30 -0000

I can't imagine anyone caring that much about this, but Vinnie Chulk signed for 1yr @ $837,500. It's about half way between what the Giants offered and he wanted in arbitration. I'm surprised the Giants didn't just go to arbitration. It seemed like they would have won, what with the finger sickness and suckitude.
