Gorzelanny made only 800k last year but is arbitration eligible this off season. He posted a respectable 4.09 ERA last season for an underachieving Cubs team. But his 1.496 WHIP has to be a concern for people considering him in their fantasy leagues in 2011. |

Braves and Dan Uggla Close on Extension?
December 16, 2010| David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting the Braves and Dan Uggla are discussing an extension in the range of 5 years 60 million.
This is interesting since Uggla reportedly rejected a 4 year 48 million offer with the Marlins and was subsequently traded to the Braves. If this is true this would seem to be a great deal for the Braves since 30 homer 90 RBI second basemen are a rare commodity. |
Nationals to Move Josh Willingham to Athletics?
