Post-Gazette - The Pirates today agreed to terms with outfielder Craig Monroe and catcher Miguel Perez on minor league contracts with invitations to spring training.

Monroe, who will turn 31 next month, has a .253 career average and 112 home runs over eight seasons in Major League Baseball. That includes a .202 average, eight home runs and 29 RBIs in 2008 with the Minnesota Twins, who released him Aug.

That's a lot of money/years for Lowe, but such is the FA market for starting picthers.

I'm surprised that nobody is sniffing Ben Sheets, injuries and all.

I was about to comment on this. But, I think it is a decent signing if he proves what he once was. I doubt he will though.

With Lowe being a GB pitcher, he'll be fine for the entirety of the contract.

Craig Monroe is an absolute waste of a roster spot. I think I could count the number of at bats where he didn't strike out on one hand.

BA with a little Venezuelan League recap

I'll just pull out some of the quotes and post them here for you guys. I'll just randomly pull out a couple of quotes. In no way am I biased in which quotes I used. Honestly. I swear.

Quote:
Jesus Guzman, 3b/2b, Giants: Maybe it seems a little bit unusual to lead off a prospect discussion by bringing up a player signed this offseason as a minor league free agent, but Guzman is a legitimate prospect who has pulverized pitchers in Venezuela. In 269 plate appearances for Leones del Caracas, Guzman batted .349/.435/.616, ranking second in the league in OPS, fifth in OBP and third in slugging. He led the league in extra-base hits (32), runs scored (48), tied for the league lead in hits (81) and ranked third in home runs (13). He also recorded 67 RBIs, with the last two coming in Guzman’s final at-bat of the regular season, breaking the previous league record of 65 RBIs set in 1973-74 by Pete Koegel.

Not bad for a 24-year-old minor league free agent who has never been traded but is already with his third organization. Guzman was a Mariners July 2 signing in 2000, then spent three seasons in the Venezuelan Summer League before making his U.S. debut in the high Class A California League in 2004 at age 20. At 21, Guzman was already in Double-A, but in 2005 and 2006 he failed to slug over .400 in either season. So the Mariners dropped him to the California League, and Guzman flourished in one of baseball’s most hitter-friendly environments in High Desert, batting .301/.370/.539 with 25 homers in 130 games.

Oakland picked up Guzman as a minor league free agent, and this time he conquered Double-A by hitting .364/.419/.560 in 80 games with Midland. A’s officials say they wanted Guzman back for 2009, but the Giants stepped in and signed him, offering him an invitation to big league camp this spring. Defensively, Guzman is still a work in progress. With Midland, Guzman made nine errors in 49 games at third base and eight errors in 31 games at second. But the bat? He’s making believers out of those who see him.

"That kid, out of nowhere, has made himself into a major league hitter," said one scout who watched Guzman play this winter. "I don’t think he’s going to go play right now—he’s still in the learning process. But he’s got maturity at the plate and more patience than he used to have. He used to be a guy who would give you one good swing and three bad swings because he didn’t stay back enough and follow the ball. But now he just looks awesome."
Quote:
Pablo Sandoval, c/1b/3b, Giants: The only player with a higher OPS than Guzman among qualified players in Venezuela? That would be Guzman’s new teammate, Pablo Sandoval. The two aren’t teammates in Venezuela—Sandoval is playing for Navegantes del Magallanes—but they could find themselves in the same lineup at some point in 2009. Sandoval batted .396/.449/.677 in 214 games this winter and played mostly first base, aside from a few games at third. Sandoval led the league in batting average and slugging, ranked fourth and OBP and tied for fourth with 12 home runs.

Sandoval isn’t a patient hitter, as eight of his 18 walks were intentional.Sandoval simply continued to do what he did all year, which is just flat out hit. Between high Class A and Double-A, Sandoval batted .350/.394/.578 in 112 games, then went .345/.357/.490 in 40 big league games. Pretty solid for a player who didn’t turn 21 until August.

Sandoval offers a hard-to-find combination of a player who is difficult to strike out but who also comes with a serious power stroke from both sides of the plate. While many power hitters have longer swings, Sandoval’s short stroke and ability to hit all types of pitches allow him to hit for average, and his strength gives him the power to hit the ball out of the park to all fields.

Lowe said he wanted to play in the northeast. I expect that and an extra year and 3 million more annually to slide slightly in the Mets favor.

No team wants to commit long term b/c injuries and a one year deal isn't worth the draft pick.

Even with injuries he'll still give you 3 WAR which is worth 13-14 million.
