Braves Non-tendered Chuck James - Ace - 12-12-2008
He's out for the first half of 2009, but how about him as a Jim Hendry special? I imagine there will be a lot of teams trying to get him on a one-year deal with a team option for 2010.

For batting practice?

He's got two first names!
Braves Non-tendered Chuck James - Coldneck - 12-12-2008
I thought his name was Charlie Jim.

He pitched hurt last year (and sucked), but before that, he was pretty darn good.

Something that caught me eye on mlbtraderumors...Ty Wigginton was non-tendered. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]

What do you guys think of taking a waiver out on Chris Britton?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm excited to see Wigginton non-tendered, but it's no surprise. They've been trying to trade him and Tejada. Like San Diego, Houston's been ordered to cut payroll quite a bit. Willy Taveras and Tim Redding were non-tendered, and the Rockies and Nats talked trade about those two quite a bit lately. I bet the Rockies sign Redding and he was a name that came up quite a bit with the Cubs at the trade deadline.
The only guy out of the group of non-tendered guys I'd really be interested in taking a chance on is Scott Proctor. He was AWFUL for the Dodgers this year and just had elbow surgery, but is expected to be ready for ST. If the health reports on him are good and he's throwing in the mid 90's again, I wouldn't mind giving him a shot. He had an ERA in the 3's the previous 4 years for the Yanks and Dodgers and it would be nice having some more experience in the pen.

So seriously, no one would want to do with Chuck James what we did with Dempster?

I was never really impressed with him, but I wouldn't mind it.

How much? and do what with him? Have him take Cotts roster spot? He used to start so I assume a middle relief spot would be his gig.Depends on the price.
Hell...the more I think about it...James is a better longshot than Chad Fox.

Chuck James is Rich Hill Part Deux with injuries
Braves Non-tendered Chuck James - Runnys - 12-13-2008
Would anyone have interest in Daniel Cabrera? I saw that he was non-tendered by the O's and he still has a ton of potential!
Braves Non-tendered Chuck James - Runnys - 12-13-2008
Actually, forget what I said about Cabrera. I just looked at his stats...his K's went from 166 down to 95 last season. That has got to be a sign of a problem.

His velocity went down big time, and if the Orioles aren't willing to give him 4 million bucks, I figure there's really nothing there anymore. But yeah he used to have an incredible arm and he'd throw in some games that made you think he was going to be a star.
