But an organization like the Red Sox knew when to cut bait on Miller. The M's...not so much. He'll be used to their detriment.

Well, yeah. Most likely. But in theory it's not a risky prop to bring him in for a year.

True . But I doubt that theory is the reason the M's are retaining him. I don't think they see him as a cheap option that is on the same footing as a spring training invite who has to prove his worth to the team, but rather a product they've already invested a lot in and will cling to in the off chance they may some return on their investment.

We lost Ben Broussard.

Does this mean Clement starts the year as our C/DH?

Well, Chris Reitsma and Arthur Rhodes are both under contract for one more year, so I'm glad we have that settled. Reitsma, Rhodes, R.A. Dickey, Miguel Cairo... playin' hardball!

Can I claim drunkenness for that unexplained post on Broussard? Because I really don't know what the f**k was going through my mind on that one. Had to be alcohol.

Isn't Arthur Rhodes eligible for Medicare?

Also, what's more disturbing, the fact that we lost out on Jason Jennings to the Rangers or the fact that the Rangers signed a pitcher?

I think most surprising is that it only took the Rangers a one-year $4MM commitment to sign him. Nice deal.

What's next? Will the M's try to trade Adam Jones to the Rangers for Jason Jennings?
