While You Were Sleeping 1/8/10

Vladimir Guerrero got an offer from the Rangers, and apparently wasn't too keen on it, according to T.R. Sullivan. The deal is believed to be one year somewhere in the $5 - $7 mill range. I can't say I blame Vlad considering where he was at in his last contract, BUT, the guy is getting old and breaking down. He is barely capable of playing right anymore, and has trouble staying healthy as a DH. Not exactly a sound financial investment. Thank God Omar was smart enough to avoid this one.

According to Ken Rosenthal on twitter, it looks like Scott Podsednik is ruining my dream of an all Anderson outfield in KC. What a jerk.

In other news, it looks like Austin Jackson will be given the opportunity to be the starting center fielder in Detroit this season. Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski is quoted as saying, "There are a lot of guys that can play center field for us but we anticipate he'll be ready."

Not too busy a night, guess you didn't miss too much while you were sleeping...
