Drew uses his talent fine, just cautiously.

Am I reading this right? Did someone at Baseball Prospectus say something nice about the Marlins? As a Fish season ticket holder (the few, the proud), I give Beinfest credit for keeping the team competitive most years despite the Lorians' penny pinching. I have never understood why other teams spend arbitration-level salaries on the Kevin Greggs and Mike Jacobs of the world. Hermida is a puzzle -- I defended him until he became indefensible. He still might blossom but it's not worth the gamble unless you're a big money team that can afford the risk.

I hope that with Marlins' new stadium on the horizon that players like Josh Johnson will get the long-term contracts they deserve -- and, like Christina said, not getting too attached to the supporting cast should help make that possible.

I'm very happy to see Abreu back in the fold next season for my beloved Angels.

Any chance Vladmir Guerrero takes a short contract with an option? Or is he as good as gone?
