Roster Notes

Casey Kotchman earned a raise to $1.45M on a one-year deal that avoided arbitration. Maicer Izturis is also making $1.2M on a one-year deal. Francisco Rodriguez is asking for $12.5M in arbitration; the Angels are offering $10M.
The Dodgers will play exhibition games in China in March. Brilliant: not only are the Dodgers going to be splitting their spring training over two camps, but they'll be playing exhibition games a world away.
Brett Tomko has signed with the Royals on a one-year, $3M deal.
Remember this scene from Tootsie?
Michael Dorsey: Are you saying that nobody in New York will work with me?
George Fields: No, no, that's too limited... nobody in Hollywood wants to work with you either.
Something very like that is going on for Bartolo Colon right now. The Indians have given up on him after he was able to muster only an 87-89 MPH fastball in the Dominican winter league. Before that, the White Sox took a pass because he wanted a multi-year deal. Pfft.
Troy Tulowitzki has signed a 6-year, $30M deal with the Rockies, giving him the richest deal for a player with only two years of service time in history.

I think Tomko signed with the Royals, not the Padres.

Off topic: It looks like Richard and I are going to relaunch Pearly Gates on its old blogger site when we have some time.
