2 yrs, $14 mil for Coco? We couldn't even attempt to offer a similar deal to Willingham? I don't get it.

"There are doubts within the hierarchy of the Miami Marlins about whether Carlos Zambrano has enough zip to ever be a frontline pitcher again, because his fastball velocity has dropped into the 89-90 mph range. Last year, he had No. 5 starter stuff to go along with the temperament that essentially got him launched out of Chicago. But for almost no risk, the Marlins figure that, at the very least, he could be an innings-eater in a year in which he's pitching for his next contract and has every reason to hold it together. Volstad had exhausted his opportunities with the Miami organization, and unless he had a major turnaround for them in 2012, he was going to be a non-tender candidate anyway."
"The cost for Fielder could hang on the Nationals for years. Presumably, the Nationals would have to pay him somewhere in the range of $24 million-$28 million for at least seven years. In 2016 and 2017, the Nationals would be on the hook for about $45 million annually for Fielder in his mid-30s and Werth in his late 30s -- a hell of a lot of money. History tells us that these enormous long-term contracts almost always become a major problem for franchises."
"Nakajima's more interesting down the road (if signed), as he becomes at least a short-term option as a Derek Jeter successor, especially considering Eduardo Nunez's inconsistent defense last year."
