Jayson Nix, 2B, Colorado Rockies

Thursday 1/10, 12:49 PM CT

Even with the signing of Marcus Giles, Jayson Nix is the favorite to land the second base job for the Rockies. "That is what you'd like to do, bring in a young position player and a bullpen guy every year, let them get their feet on the ground," manager Clint Hurdle said in the Rocky Mountain News. "The road is paved for him." Nix hit .292 with 11 homers, 58 RBI and 24 steals for Triple-A Colorado last year. He could also face competition from Ian Stewart and Jeff Baker, but they're both trying to learn second base and are considered longshots to win the starting job.

Josh Phelps, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals

Thursday 1/10, 12:37 PM CT

The Cardinals signed Josh Phelps to a minor-league deal Thursday. Phelps will make $750,000 if he makes the major league roster, with a possible $250,000 more in incentives, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal. If he sticks with the Cards, Phelps would be used mainly in a pinch-hitting role, while also serving as Albert Pujols' backup at first and as the third catcher.

Johan Santana, P, New York Mets

Thursday 1/10, 11:47 AM CT

A team from New York could be the best fit for Johan Santana. But this team plays in Queens, not The Bronx. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that the Mets have offered top pitching prospect Deolis Guerra, along with center fielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Kevin Mulvey and Phil Humber. The Twins have told the Mets they'd have a done deal if they would add prized outfield prospect Fernando Martinez. He would likely replace Gomez in the deal.

Mike Cameron, CF, Milwaukee Brewers

Thursday 1/10, 11:23 AM CT

The Brewers are interested in bringing in center fielder Mike Cameron. The move would result in Bill Hall either going back to the infield or being dealt and Ryan Braun heading out to left field, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Brewers GM Doug Melvin has stated previously that he would be reluctant to ask Hall to change positions again, which could mean a trade is more likely if the team signs Cameron, who is suspended for the first 25 games of the season for testing positive for a banned stimulant last year. Stay tuned.
