I live near Philly, I've been to some games and man are those fans brutal. This one drunk guy launched a hot dog from about 15 rows up in RF that almost hit Bobby Abreu, all while yelling, "Catch this, Bobbay!"
I was going to mention it, but I couldn't remember how many innings that game went...
It was terrible, I watched practically every second of that game, I went to the bathroom and when I came back my friends are screaming and Burke is leaping into the arms of his teammates.
You know, I really really really really doubt this happens. Even if the 2 sides agree, Manny has a no-trade clause and if I'm not mistaken so does Abreu.
Hitting, yes. He hit 24 homers in 2004 but just 13 last year. 24 is above avg. 13 is below.
But if you're talking about fielding...umm...well......I wouldn't say Rowand's an "average CF."
The bullpen is going to be completely lights out. They've improved it so much this offseason...if Foulke can be Foulke, we're definitely in business. The only bad thing about the bullpen this offseason is losing Myers.
