Guys officially non tendered are in bold. As the day goes on, players that are traded/signed/etc. will be removed from the list.

take Marc Rzepczynski off the board. looks like he is involved in the Padres/A's trade....

Jeff Locke is someone we should look at if available.

I'm not someone who advocates the second time around approach, but Locke, Feliz, and Coleman (who the Braves drafted out of high school, but did not sign) are all worth a look. Don't know what has happened to Jacob Turner, but he might be worth a look (although the signing of Norris would make Turner superfluous). Felix Doubront is another pitcher I'd consider. As far as hitters go, I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Will Middlebrooks as well (although the Beckham signing would seem to fill the role Middlebrooks might play).

I really have to laugh when I see Revere on the list. We sign Melvin Upton, Jr., to an outrageous contract when we could have had either Span or Revere for a decent minor league pitching prospect. Revere isn't all that great, but he would have given us a lot more payroll flexibility than we had.

Don't be surprised to hear that we might be poking around on Greg Holland tomorrow. Just got off the phone with a mutual friend who spoke to him over Thanksgiving who said the reports that it doesn't look like he's going to work anything out with the Royals before tonight's deadline are true.

So you somehow got that the Braves are going to make a play for him.

I'd bring Flowers in if we didn't just sign Pierzynski.

Henderson Alvarez was non-tendered.. i know he has some shoulder issues, but if he recovers, could be a nice addition when healthy.

The Astros non tendered Chris carter their first baseman from last year. I wonder if they plan to give the job to AJ Reed out of spring training or if they plan to make a play for someone to play first base *cough* Freeman *cough*

Cough, cough.. AJ reed.. cough..

I don't see them cutting a 1b in HOPES of a trade.. this looks like a clear message from the organization, saying.. the job is yours man.. show us what you can do..

[UNCBlue012]
