The first sign that spring is here is Ortiz being pissed off. Can't say this is unexpected anymore. He definitely has earned his paychecks. Hope he stays around.
Dempster thinks there's more value this year in staying home with his family than playing ball. My hat is off to him. Glad he has his priorities in order. Two years ago, I took 3 months unpaid parental leave to spend time with my son. I don't regret that decision one bit.
Teixeira stinks. His OPS has dropped to nightmarish levels for what he's being paid. Ownership mist be very happy that he didn't sign here. Throwing at him would be pretty stupid. The guy has enough problems trying to get on base in the first place.
I don't think it was a princess pea act. I think he was just too lazy to ever really stay in shape. He won a WS as a rookie, got paid, won a second WS and the just stopped giving a s***.
The Sanchez trade brought the 07 WS.
Masterson brought a VERY productive VMart.
Gabbard didn't do anything after being traded.
The only dark spot is the Arroyo trade.
