Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Padilla reaches preliminary agreement with rangers

This might not necesitate a diary, I don't really care. To quote cartman, "whateva. I do what I want"

For those that were earlier advocating we sign Padilla, apparently the Rangers ARE going to retain him, so apparently the concerns about his arm falling off aren't as major as some thought (or the rangers are stupid).

The preliminary deal is for 3/34 million. I guess this DOES affect us, in that it sets the market for the second tier pitchers. This might have bearing on what we end up paying Lilly if/when we sign him, which now seems likely, although this affect might not be too pronounced, since it sounds like the two camps have already been in extensive talks. I do think this sets the framework for a Meche deal, although I think he will probably get 4 years.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
