    These moves stink of a new GM desperate to make moves, but either too scared to make a big one, or they just aren't there so he shuffles the chairs around.

    This. That to me would be a horrid move with us on the hook for the downhill part of a formerly good players career. He's 37. Just got through with a season where he had a .203 BA a .308 OBP, and struck out 170 times in 587 ABs. He would still command 8-10 million dollars per year on a 2 or 3 year contract. That would be terrible for us because we don't need a guy that is striking out 29% of the time and had 50 more strikeouts than hits last year.
