Can't use booze as an excuse since I don't drink. I saw a link to the article, but didn't check the date. Just another boneheaded mistake on my part.

1. I think he gets paid NY cash unless he inks on somewhere.
2. Why stain your resume with the Nats who could not sign their first round pick in 2008

MLB: Players who have filed for free agency

All-Stars Manny Ramirez, Ryan Dempster, Ben Sheets, Milton Bradley, Jason Varitek and Joe Crede were among the 65 players who filed for free agency Thursday, the first day of MLB’s 15-day filing period for eligible players.
Bradley, who led the American League with a .436 on-base percentage as the Rangers’ designated hitter, and Ramirez, who helped the Dodgers win the National League West crown after coming over from Boston in a July trade, head the list of outfielders among the first-day filers.

Another, Ken Griffey Jr., is expected to join them after the Chicago White Sox on Thursday declined Griffey’s $16 million option for the 2009 season. Crede, the first White Sox third baseman to make the All-Star team in 16 years, also filed, as did infielder Juan Uribe.

Other outfielders filing Thursday included Garret Anderson, Jay Payton, Jim Edmonds, Bobby Abreu, Gabe Kapler, Emil Brown, Raul Ibanez and Brad Wilkerson.

Ibanez is a nice fit here if we lose Burrell. Although I think Ibanez is a left-handed hitter.

Blue Jays exercised their option on Rod Barajas

The Blue Jays exercised a $2.5 million option on catcher Rod Barajas Friday, rewarding the 33-year-old after he batted .249 with 11 homers and 49 RBIs.

Ibanez had a really slow start to his career. But starting at age 29, he has turned in many very nice seasons with his bat. He is a lefty and he'll be 37 next season. He's also a worse defensive LFer than Burrell.

A guy who hits like Ibanez has over the last several years would be a good replacement for Burrell. But I wouldn't go with Ibanez I don't think.

Now that I see he's a type A free agent, I wouldn't either.
