December 7, 200520 yr I wasn't sure whether to put this here or MLB, but all he's ever been is a Marlin and he's not gone yet, so... If the Renteria to Atlanta, Lugo to Boston, Marte to Tampa rumors are true, here's the 30 MLB SS situations: AL East Baltimore - Miguel Tejada Boston - Julio Lugo New York - Derek Jeter Tampa Bay - B.J. Upton Toronto - Russ Adams AL Central Chicago - Juan Uribe Cleveland - Jhonny Peralta Detroit - Carlos Guillen Kansas City - Angel Berroa Minnesota - Jason Bartlett AL West Los Angeles - Orlando Cabrera Oakland - Bobby Crosby Seattle - Yuniesky Betancourt Texas - Michael Young NL East Atlanta - Edgar Renteria Florida - Hanley Ramirez New York - Jose Reyes Philadelphia - Jimmy Rollins Washington - Cristian Guzman NL Central Chicago - Ronny Cedeno Cincinnati - Felipe Lopez Houston - Adam Everett Milwaukee - J.J. Hardy Pittsburgh - Jack Wilson St. Louis - David Eckstein NL West Arizona - Stephen Drew Colorado - Clint Barmes Los Angeles - Rafael Furcal/Cesar Izturis San Diego - Khalil Greene San Francisco - Omar Vizquel So, what are his possible destinations? The only teams I see are: Arizona - And if Drew lights up ST, Bass won't start Chicago Cubs - You would hope they'd just let Cedeno play, but who knows with them. Florida - 1 year deal, let Hanley further prepare, 06 SS class is awful. Unlikely. Minnesota - I don't know how high they are on Barlett? Washington - But they're paying Guzman so much, they almost have to let him try to fix himself. There's a very real chance he's not starting anywhere next season. And that sucks. I hope Minnesota is a real option, for obvious reasons.
December 7, 200520 yr The White Sox would be another possibility. I think Alex's defense will find him a job np, once the arbitration deadline (today) passes teams should start courting him.
December 7, 200520 yr I'm pretty sure that the twins are pretty high on Bartlett. I really dont see Drew being ready to start the year since he struggled when got moved up to AA...so I wouldnt doubt seeing A-Go sign a 1 year deal with Arizona to try to boost his stock and then Drew slide into the Job in '07 And you never know about the Cubs. They gotta give Cedeno playing time but who knows.
