Review Icon oscargamblesfro reviewed Royals sign Wilson Betemit in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
Years ago, Betemit was actually a big prospect with The Braves, in fact, he was regarded as one of the game's biggest prospects c. 2002. Whether he was hyped up or simply disappointing, he has been- and is- a marginal big leaguer who has bounced around quite a bit since leaving the Atlanta organization. I agree with the other reviewers.

Review Icon irishgit reviewed Royals sign Wilson Betemit in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
This move is not so much terrible, as irrelevant. Betemit is a 28 year old mediocre journeyman infielder with no speed and a little bit of pop in his bat who got demoted by the White Sox last season and spent most of the year in Triple A.

The Royals risk is minimal, since they've signed him to a minor league contract, but even if he somehow makes the Royals, its hard to see what possible good he'd do them.

Hero for the Yankees in the playoffs. No more A-Fraud, he has finally come through in big situations.

Review Icon irishgit reviewed Mariners resign Ken Griffey Jr. in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
This isn't the kind of signing that gives you confidence that the Mariners are serious about improving their ghastly offense.

I like Griffey a lot, and he's had a brilliant career that could have been even better had he not been hampered by injuries so much, but he's nothing more than a bench player, a sometime pinch hitter.

The days when he terrified pitchers are long gone, as are the days when he glided across infields as though they were all his personal fiefdom. I applaud his wanting to play, and not go gently into the night of retirement, but the cold reality is that he can't help this team in any way except by selling his t-shirt and jersey.

Review Icon oscargamblesfro reviewed Mariners resign Ken Griffey Jr. in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
I pretty much agree with zuchinibut. This move is made more out of nostalgia and for ticket sales than anything else. It's sometimes easy to forget how great a player Griffey was in the 1990's. Injury filled seasons with generally pretty bad Reds teams caused some of his luster to wear off. Griffey will be forty very soon, and it's hard to imagine him having much of an impact anymore after hitting just. 214, albeit with 19 home runs. The Mariners have one of the least imposing lineups in the AL. He may bounce back a little bit, but he's really a bench player/ pinch hitter/ occasional DH at this point. This move may not really hurt Seattle, but it doesn't help them either.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Mariners resign Ken Griffey Jr. in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
I don't blame Griffey for wanting to play another year, and if the Mariners want him back, then he should take the money and play ball. However, I'm really wondering if the Mariners are so short on talent that they would take Junior back after hitting just .214 last season. Griffey did hit 19 homeruns last season, but otherwise his ability has really slipped, and should likely continue. I'm not thrilled about this signing from a competitive standpoint, but I guess he can't hurt the Mariners with the worst offense in the AL. Certainly the relatively small amount that Seattle will pay Junior will be recouped in tickets and merchandise if they effectively market what may be Griffey's farewell season.
