Player Notes
December 1, 2008
The Athletics are likely to offer Class-B free agent Alan Embree salary arbitration, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:The club has some interest in bringing him back, so there is less risk if he decides to accept the arbitration offer. If he signs with another MLB team, Oakland would acquire a draft pick. Embree is on the Rockies' list of targets among lefty relievers.

Oakland is trying to decide whether or not to offer Alan Embree arbitration, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:The Rockies' top priority is a lefty reliever, and Embree is on their list of targets.
November 25, 2008
Alan Embree is on the Rockies' radar, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:The club would add the lefty reliever to shore up their bullpen, but he held a barely passable 1.44 WHIP in 2008, and would not be helped by playing his home games at launching pad Coors Field.
October 31, 2008
The AP reports that the Oakland Athletics declined their $3 million option for lefty reliever Alan Embree on Friday.

Our View:Embree went 2-5 with a 4.96 ERA in 70 outings this past season after going 1-2 with 17 saves and a 3.97 ERA in 68 appearances in 2007. The 38-year-old will surely find another team to pitch for by spring training.
September 30, 2008
The team will make a decision on Alan Embree's $3 million option after the World Series, according to the SF Chronicle.
