He still throws hard and could get a decent contract

But Bengie is the better offensive catcher of the two, so he'll likely be given an offer for a starting job. Rumor has it that Mets general manager Omar Minaya has coveted Molina for a while, and with Brian Schneider signing with the Phillies, it leaves an opening in Queens.Prediction: Mets. Potential Teams Interested: Astros, Athletics, Phillies, TwinsTejada could possibly be making the permanent move from shortstop to third base next season wherever he decides to sign with He's a little older now, but still has a very good bat. But because of his age, his defense has declined but still has a strong throwing arm.

Houston didn't offer him arbitration either, so he may be in a new home, or maybe old home in 2010.Prediction: Athletics. Potential Teams Interested: Brewers, Rangers, Yankees, MetsSheets missed the entire 2009 season with a major surgery in his arm, which cost him a contract with the Rangers. Sheets says he is healthy, but it's going to take a team desperate for pitching or cash to give away to sign him Either way, he'll get a contract.Prediction: Rangers. Potential Teams Interested: Rangers, Athletics, Angels, Mariners, YankeesDye isn't the same powerful bat that won the 2005 World Series MVP Award with the White Sox and at age 36, is on the decline of his career. He'll likely stay in the American League because he'll need to play the DH.Prediction: Rangers. Potential Teams Interested: Giants, Mets, Phillies, CardinalsBrad Penny was a tale of two pitchers in 2009.

There was the Penny with the Red Sox, who absolutely stunk it up in the American League, especially against the Yankees who tattooed him right out of a job. Then there was the Penny with the Giants who looked like the All Star of several years ago, which basically means that Penny needs to stay in the National League. He still throws hard and could get a decent contract.Prediction: Mets. Potential Teams Interested: Dodgers, Phillies, Diamondbacks, CardinalsSo, I bet the Mariners feel ripped off after they traded away Adam Jones and George Sherrill for Bedard before the 2008 season. Bedard spent most of his time on the disabled list with tons of arm problems and injuries and never lived up to being that dominant strikeout pitcher to compliment Felix Hernandez in Seattle.However, when he is healthy, Bedard could still bring it and give a team some depth, that's only if he stays healthy.Prediction: Dodgers.
