Time to invest in pine tar.
Yay I guess

At least it is a minor league deal and he can’t play for the first 50 giving someone (hopefully Carter) time at DH

Said this in the other thread:

1) Dislike because it interferes with development of Carter, Allen, Taylor, Kila.
2) Dislike because it’s so improbable he brings a significant return in a trade.

Dislike because he's a dickhead

Who adds nothing but baggage to the team and a fading drug fueled skill set.

next up; Barry Bonds for LF...

maybe Matsui for RF?

Interesting new promotionthis year. June 4th is now "Female Fertility Drug Day"

Free fertility drugs to the 1st 10,000 fans.

Like

because Manny could become fearsome in center of line-up, for 110 games anyway. Fun fun fun. Or not.

First third of season can evaluate where Carter et al belong.

Net: Only the Eight-Ball knows for sure.
