Sign This Guy!

Diminutive infielder David Eckstein is a free agent. I find this hard to believe. You mean to tell me that no team in baseball could use Eckstein?
This guy plays the game the right way and does all the little things necessary to win baseball games.
Eckstein isn't about big stats. He's not flashy. He won't dazzle you with anything he does. He's just a winner. Period.
One of my favorite players, I've followed his career closely since I saw him play with the Lowell Spinners, a Boston farm club, in the New York-Penn League in 1997.
For a guy most people thought was too small to play in the big leagues, a guy who didn't throw well enough or run fast enough, he's carved out a nice Major League career that includes two All-Star appearances, two World Series titles and the World Series MVP Award in 2006.
I just hope his career continues a while longer. I can't understand why he hasn't been signed by some team yet.
