still to come

Marcus Thames and Fred Lewis, two fairly well-established big leaguers, remain unsigned as we head toward the new year. Both play outfield, but they bring different tools to the table. Thames, from Louisville and East Central Community College, is a power guy. The New York Yankees might bring him back, but there’s been no word. Lewis, from Wiggins and Gulf Coast CC, is a speed guy who got strong consideration for the Cool Papa Bell Award after a fine year with Toronto. He was quoted in September as saying he was “a whole lot unsure” about the Blue Jays’ plans for him in 2011, and they non-tendered him at season’s end. He could still end up back there, but then again … . Eager to see where those guys land.
