As a yankees fan, does Ortiz scare you at the plate as much as say... Sheffield scares me?

If Jacobi has an arm, playing him in right might not be out of the question. No need to rush him, he could prove to be valuable trade bait too.

For anyone trying to take this thing serious, a-rod being on the fence about which country he belongs to is about as important as a bug hitting your windshield when your driving on the highway. It really just doesn't matter. There is no reason for Guillen to be such an ******* about it. Tell me what reason Guillen had for flipping out and tell me what flipping out does besides turn this whole WBC thing into a potential day time soap opera.

blah blah, who cares. It really isn't any skin off of anyones back who he decides to play for or what reasons. Why is Piazza playing for italy? Who cares? I'm 1/8th Ukrainian, how about I round up 24 other guys and we release our official roster. Would anyone care?

Yes, thank you, i am such a brewers guy right now. You just made me happy.

Ozzie flipped out plain and simple like he always does. He does this at least three times a year, and three times a year everyone talks about what a jerk he is and then forgets about it.

I disagree and think Guillen wayyy over stepped his boundaries. I mean, I salute the testicular fortitude, but I've gotta say it was a little uncalled for. A-Rod was torn between where he should play. Big deal. If it were pokey reese or someone with less impact than a future hall of famer in his prime, no one would care. They're crying over missing his production. Boo Hoo. He had the oppurtunity to choose and it was a hard choice. Move on.

I'm probably one of the nerds you had to sit with... beat that.

hey man, life is hard, I dropped my lunch on the floor today cause i tried to open a door that no one would grab for me. That sucked. I was hungry.

The reason I didn't mention the Yankees is because from what I read, and what I personally think will happen, is that if the Yankees make the winning bid and all things indicate Roger pitching in New York, the Sox will outbid them and they will cater to Roger's ego that much more to prevent him from going there. I suppose he could go to new york, but I just think its the Sox's job to make sure he doesn't.

I'm sorry but there is no way boston fans are most knowledgable. More like biggest complainers and most depressing

I definetly think the Brewers could make a push for the wild card, but the division is stretching it. I think the Cardinals are a very good team. They are getting Rolen back this season, remember.

Not me, but I think the Brewers will surprise everyone but me.

erm... nevermind my post... talksox fantasy baseball league anybody?

Is this league full, and if so, could you make more spots available?

Good point, I'd rather have Texiera's bat than Griffey's, Griffey seems like he might be the odd man out because I would definetly rather have an outfield of Francoeur, Vernon and Damon from right to left than any outfield substituting one of them out for Griffey. Boo. I, Ksushi, apologise for the obnoxious double post. I realize how annoying it is, and I've done ot a lot lately. I promise to try harder to not be a tool. Sorry. I have way too much time on my hands

Yeah, I thought there was DHing too but I thought Bonds backed out awhile ago. Everything looks really solid except for the outfield unless Griffey is playing, I've heard he may not play very much. The Reds want to restrict how often he plays in the field due all his injuries etc.

You know what makes a lot of sense? Banning clabucholz guy on the basis that hes a jerk.

I hope this wasn't directed at me, cause that isn't what I do. I do understand the game and the players in it. If he does through a peroid of adjustment, you won't see a Loretta sucks thread from me. Nor would you have ever seen a Renteria sucks thread from me last year, or a Millar sucks thread. Wouldn't happen.

I was talking about his predictions, it has coco crisp and guillermo mota as Red Sox. I definetly think .270 something for Loretta is a joke though, great average hitter and I think that the whole league change affecting how a player plays is overrated. Its used as an excuse sometimes for players who have down years, but really, I don't think its anything more than that, an excuse. For pitchers it might mean something, but I think if anything for a hitter being in an unfamiliar environment is nothing but a plus. Pitchers get used to hitters, not the other way around, but remember, pitchers get some pretty indepth scouting reports on these guys so by the time they finish reading them a guy they have never met before all of a sudden feels like their long lost brother. They probably even know if the guy has any odd birthmarks. Loretta is a great average hitter, he'll probably keep being that despite a league change. Just wondering though, since I can't seem to think of any, who besides rent-a-wreck had a big down year with the bat after changing leagues? I know Sheff was fine, Nomar didn't seem to bothered, but I'm sure I'm overlooking a few guys cause its like 6 in the morning. I just think its overrated, a .300 hitter is a .300 hitter. Baseball is a game of adjustments and more adjustments, if he has managed to hit .300 for his career hes pretty good at making adjustments at the plate.

The Sox won't ever sign Juan Gonzalez, I'm familiar with the whole low risk high reward thing, but Juan Gone is exactly that, long gone. His best days are over and I'd rather give a guy like Mohr or Hidalgo a chance to be the guy to spell trot against lefties. Why sign a guy just to have him on the roster? Juan Gonzalez used to be a big name, sure, but so did Ashton Kutcher why don't we sign him? He can't play baseball either.

the kid who made that sportsblah site has terrible terrible grammar and punctuation problems. Sorry, just chiming in with nothing.

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but you really are a tool.

I would rather sign a bowl of throw up than sign Juan Gonzalez, you sir, are a moron.
