8) The Tigers re-signed 1B Carlos Pena to a 1 year, $2.575 million contract, to avoid salary arbitration.

After 0 RCAA/.764 OPS and 3 RCAA/.772 OPS seasons, Pena hit .472 SLG, .338 OBA, .810 OPS, 7 RCAA in 142 games. He has a .787 career OPS, compared to his league average of .764, and 12 RCAA in 410 games.

Villone should be off the list. He had accepted the Mariners offer of arbitration.

Curtis Pride keeps hanging in there.
He should write a book.

I would buy it!

Is it just me, or does Ruben Sierra this spring look like he's about to give birth any minute now?

Haven't seen him yet. Built like Tony Gwynn, or Jim Rice at the end of his career?

Sierra over the past dozen years--

RCAA: -61
BGBAA (babies given birth above average): 0

If I had to put a number on it, I would say that Sierra is at least 25 pounds over-weight this spring.
