Law sez melky's a clear upgrade (duh), but a pricey one. He also noted that zips has cabrera projected for 5.1 WAR over the next 3 years.

Headley taking his talents back to the BX for 52 mil over four years. Good move, i think.

It is peculiar that the Red Sox gobbled up a bunch of mid-level groundball-heavy starters, yet passed on the defense-centric 3b in loo of the donut-centric one.

This hurts my heart. But good deal for him.
UZR has Prado as a - defender at 2B and a + at 3B, fwiw. Seems like a good trade candidate for someone a bit more range-y. Beltran's now a disaster with the glove, too. So many broken-down former stars, so few DH spots.

$10m to a $200m payroll team is like $4m to an $80m payroll team. Which makes it a little baffling that the Royals were apparently in the mix at the end.

I think someone would take ethier and 40mm in exchange for a non-prispect.

Or prospect.

Their team TV deal alone is more than that. They'll draw 3M+ and collect their share of the league money. The only thing suppressing their payroll is the luxury tax and ownership's desired profit margin.

Michael Morse to Miami for 2/$8M presumably to play 1B in tandem with Garrett Jones. This ought to kill off the Pedro Alvarez rumors.
Morse will always be alright in my book. He's a maddening player to watch at the plate and especially in the field. But you can't fault the big lug for lack of effort or enthusiasm. He had some big hits for the Giants during their hot start and they ended up needing every bit of that cushion.
He'll be 33 by opening day and has never been able to stay healthy. I hope 1B will be easier on his body and he'll be able to mash for 500 PAs or so.
The mystery of the Giants' off-season continues.

Prado is a lot better than Roberts at 2B. Didi hits like Jeter did last year (bad) but isn't a trainwreck on D. Headley is better than Yangervis at 3B. They are effectively swapping Ichiro in RF for Beltran's glove and A-Rod's bat. Not sure if that's a positive or not.
Definitely not a championship, but they did win 84 games last year and they seem a little better (Granted, it was with a Pythagorean record of 77 wins, so who knows?)

Love this signing. Now sign Josh Johnson to a similar deal and make the Wisler for Justin Upton swap AJ.

The lineup has some question marks with age and injury but that's kind of a Yankees tradition now. But they'll score runs on the days that everybody shows up.
The big problem is the rotation. CC, Tanaka, Pineda, Capuano and Phelps aren't going to get it done. I have to think they'll be in on either Scherzer or Shields.

Padres swimming in arms at this point. Ross, Cashner, Kennedy, Hahn, and Erlin is a darn good rotation. 6th arm is likely Odrisamer Despaigne, who had a 3.36 ERA in 16 starts last year. After that, some very interesting projects in Brandon Morrow, Casey Kelly, Corey Luebke, and Josh Johnson (likely to re-sign). That's 10 guys before we even get to top pitching prospect Matt Wisler, former prospect Birch Smith, or soon to be stud Joe Ross.
Starting to believe the Upton deal is actually a possibility. What an offseason if AJ can add both Kemp and Upton without touching his rotation or dealing any starting positional players.

Isn't a trainwreck? That is all you can muster up for an Excellent fielder at shortstop?

Isn't there a Padres thread somewhere?
