We’re only a few weeks away before pitchers and catchers report – yay!  But there’s a lot of PRO Rumors left before teams get their 25-man roster together.  The final chapter of the off-season is being written as we speak, so let’s see what material may fill in those last few pages:

– Andy Pettitte: Will he retire forever?  Or will he be back in pinstripes by the All Star Game?  All signs are pointing towards a mid-summer return.

– Bengie Molina: He couldn’t lose last October – really!  He was guaranteed a World Series ring no matter what happened since he was a member of both the American League and National League champions.  Now he’s reaching the end of his career, and he’s been on the fence about retirement.  We’re still waiting on the official word.

– Jim Edmonds: Will one of the best defensive outfielders finally call it quits?  We think he’s ready to hang it up, but until it’s official, then we’ll be in a wait-and-see mode.

– Eric Chavez: The six-time Gold Glover recently worked out with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers.    One scout said that he’s looking good despite back injuries that have sidelined him over the years.

– Jermaine Dye: Chavez’s buddy Dye may not be ready to call it quits yet.  He had been contacted by the Tampa Bay Rays, Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies sometime before November, but nothing seems to have materialized.

– Ben Sheets: He’s one year short from having his full Major League pension vests, so it would not be a surprise if he makes a comeback.  His 2010 ended in August after he experienced problems in his right elbow that required surgery.

– Jose Bautista: He’s arbitration-eligible this winter and he wants $10.5 million.  It’s possible that he can get a long-term deal, but will the Blue Jays assume that he’ll follow-up his awesome 2010 season with another solid year?

– Kevin Millwood: The right-hander was one of the hitter commodities early in the 2010 season.  Then all hell broke lose.  He finished 2010 with a 4-16 record with a 5.10 ERA, but he’s an innings eater, so there’s still interest for teams that need a back-end starter.  The last we heard was that the Cleveland Indians were interested.

– Vladimir Guerrero: Had of signed early in the winter, the designated hitter probably could have received a two-year, $14 million deal.  However, he’ll be lucky to get a one-year deal at $4.5-5 million. He was hoping to cash in on his 29 home runs and 115 RBIs from the Rangers, but that wasn’t the case.

– Albert Pujols: If I could be a fly on the wall, I would love to be one for the Pujols’ negotiations.  There’s going to be a lot of blood, sweat and tears over the next few weeks a bunch of rumors popping up.  Will Pujols get $30 million a year and be in a Cardinals’ uniform for the rest of his career, or will he test the open market and be the most sought after free agent in the history of baseball?
