Nats' Dunn deal a shortsighted move
The Nationals have reportedly agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with free agent slugger Adam Dunn. The 29-year-old has smashed 40 or more homers in each of the past five seasons and knocked in 100 or more runs four times during that stretch, and though he hits for low averages and annually ranks among the league leaders in K's, he is the owner of an impressive .381 career OBP. But while Dunn brings power to a Nats lineup that sorely lacks it, this is an ill-advised, shortsighted move.

Alomar AIDS lawsuit sad, shocking

Abreu a terrific bargain for Angels
Everyone has been negatively affected by the sagging economy - everyone, that is, except the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. SI.com reports that the Halos have taken advantage of the collective unwillingness of teams not named the Yankees to shell out big money for free agents this offseason by signing former Bomber Bobby Abreu to a one-year deal worth $5 million, plus incentives. The addition of Abreu won't completely make up for the defection of $180 million man Mark Teixeira to the Bronx, but it will come a lot closer to doing so than some people probably realize, at a much lower cost.
