Hard to believe a player like this is out of a job.

Nationals released him last August.

He served his suspension. Fine.

How does not one team have interest in a career .280 hitter who is still young?

.280 with a .732 OPS, 1722 hits, career WAR of 25.

Even thru last year's horseshit he was a .283 hitter with 38 RBIs.

Just 3 years ago he was the only player in MLB to play in all 162 games.

12 years in the MLB is a pretty good career.

If only there were a team in need of a second baseman.

He is twice the player that sack of dogshit Heyward is.

Sox will pick him up in about three years

Yankees fleeced Theo trading Adam Warren (5.91 era), and Brendan Ryan (released 6 days later) for Starlin Castro (.283 .317 .442 .759 99).

The dead balls this season are really hurting guys like Schwindel and Wisdom who are HR or K.

23.2 + 1.8 = 25

offense + defense
