The Indians signed 86 dudes to minor league deals this winter, and one of them couldn't be Manny Ramirez? Christ.

at this Manny signing. Maybe he'll be the old Manny when he returns in June and then we deal him to a contender?

He's the best hitter on your team now, though. Hell, Buster Posey is his only competition in the entire Bay Area.

That is true. I'm not completely against the move I guess. We have 50 games to try out some of our younger guys and see what they have anyways. Should be interesting.

Russell Martin & free agent catchers.

Jorge Posada spoiled the Yankees for more than a decade, providing well-above-average production at a position where the expected output is next to nil. Russell Martin took over catching duties in the Bronx last year after being non-tendered by the Dodgers, giving his new club a .325 wOBA (100 wRC+) in 476 plate appearances. There are no great metrics for catcher defense, but Martin has a reputation as a strong defender and reportedly lived up to that billing last year. All told, he gave his team approximately three wins more than a replacement level backstop.

The Yankees retained control of their new catcher as an arbitration-eligible player this year, signing him to a one-year pact worth $7.5 million in January. The Wall Street Journal’s Dan Barbarisi reported yesterday that the two sides first tried to hammer out a three-year contract, but talks never went beyond the initial stages. Chad Jennings of The Journal News has a quote from Martin…

“My agent and the Yankees talked a little bit about an extension,
