Scutaro;Zaun; Figgins and more

It's a deal. Boston's new SS is Marco Scutaro. I don't agree with the signing. I was more open to Pedroia moving over to SS and being able to sign a Brandon Phillips, Orlando Hudson (which the Rox claim they're not pursuing) or a 2b of those natures. The Sox don't trust Jed Lowrie because of his health, but Scutaro is coming off an injury, too. Sure, he hit .282 with 12 HRs, 60 RBIs and 100 runs for last season, but why do I feel like he won't come near those numbers again? Now the Sox mus tackle the OF and bullpen which are far more important a this point in my eyes.

C Greg Zaun has signed a deal with the Brewers. It's woth $1.9M this season with a $2M+ option for next season and a $250K buyout. Zaun split time between Baltimore and Tampa Bay last season playing 90 games hitting a combined .251.

The rumor is Chone Figgins is close to a deal, but don't rule the Angles out yet says Jayson Stark of ESPN, with the Mariners. This news may no break until tomorrow if it's true.

The Orioles have re-signed C Chad Moeller to a minor league deal. The Orioles backstop is now crowded behind Matt Wieters. Moeller will be battling Craig Tatum and Michel Hernandez for the spot. Moeller hit .251 in 30 games last season.

Other news, The Rangers claimed Joe Inglett of the Jays. Inglett hit .281 last season for Toronto and .360 in Triple A ball. The Dodgers signed reliever Justin Miller to a minor league deal. If he makes the majors, he'll make $850K. Last season before going down with arthroscopic elbow surgery. Miller posted a 3.18ERA for the Giants last season.
