    ...Yeah, I appreciate the guy's passion but he's simply not very good on offense or defense...gotta believe we can get just as much production, if not more at 3B from Andujar or elsewhere..

    Speaking of free agents, I've seen a few articles hinting at collusion. Here's the deal as I see it, when one goes free agent offering services for a higher rate of pay that is the players right. Equally so is a teams right to determine if your asking price is more than what they'd like to pay. This season I think we are seeing some surprises, I thought Boston would jump on Hosmer but they re=signed Moreland probably for less years than money. Frazier probably wanted 3 years but at his age got two and at a more than fair rate. Can't remember if it was a sports figure, Circus Icon, or Gambler who coined the phrase "you play the game and take your chances" but that's the way it goes.

    As near as I can tell it's just the MLBPA whining again...they disregard the other big contracts already signed by other FAs this off season...they are even hinting at boycotting ST games.

    I just heard on Twitter that Joe Girardi is joining MLB Network as an analyst.

    Like to see him get that gig, a huge upgrade for their staff. Hopefully they have to fire Kenney, Byrnes, or Harold Reynolds to make room for Girardi.

    Seahawks QB Russell Wilson has been traded to The Yankees as per Bronx Bombers Beat. Can one of you guys find out if this is really true.

    It was not date clear on which Wednesday Girardi would start so I'll be checking MLB Tonight at 6PM. Per the article Girardi will be working with Mike Lowell, and good old Know it all never played Amsinger, and Little Brother coat tail rider Cal Ripken. I wish Joe G. the best.

    Saw that Tanaka article earlier today. I'd be more prone to believing that shaky performances last season in conjunction with a weak market have stunted a better deal elsewhere. Though he claims he wants to be "one of the boys" I may take that one with a grain of salt. I'm really pulling for Andujar to get up to the big club and play third with GT at second. Really looking forward to this season and want to see those young guys get a chance if deserving. Girardi looked pretty god on MLB Tonigh, stated he wished he could have carried on but it was not to be. Boone is getting a Cadillac of a ball club, just hope he can drive it.
