Off the wall thought.

Gary Carter will be the only Montreal Expo in the HOF.

Once bitten, twice shy?

I remember when they set the building on fire in RI. I was working right up the street at that time. so sad.....

Kershaw
Greinke
Ryu
Haren
Beckett

If they add Tanaka, then someone here is gone, probably Haren.

Haren? Really? Not Beckett?

David Price and the Rays won’t be going through an arbitration hearing, as the two sides have agreed to a one-year, $14 million contract. For comparison, Tampa Bay’s entire payroll last season was $58 million.
Price will be arbitration eligible for the final time in 2015 before hitting the open market as a free agent, which is why he’s been the subject of trade speculation that will no doubt continue. I’d bet Price read a few articles about Clayton Kershaw yesterday.
He made $10 million last season, starting 27 games with a 3.33 ERA and 151/27 K/BB ratio in 187 innings as the follow-up to his Cy Young-winning 2012 campaign.

Pronk getting schooled -

Travis Hafner hasn’t officially called it a career despite hitting just .202 with a .679 OPS in 82 games for the Yankees last season, but the former slugger has gone into coaching.
Dennis Manoloff of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Hafner has joined the coaching staff at Notre Dame College–which is not to be confused with the University of Notre Dame–and will be a volunteer assistant coach for the Division II team. Notre Dame College’s head coach is Len Barker, who spent 11 seasons in the majors as a starting pitcher and threw a perfect game in 1981.
However, Hafner made it clear that he’s still hoping to sign with a team and continue playing at age 37: “I’m working out every day, getting ready for the upcoming season. The body and swing feel good.”

Seems to me that pitchers tend to be about the most inconsistent players in all of sports. Can't think of many better examples of that than Dan Haren, though I could easily be wrong about that.

I still like them. Very early on in their career, they did some really good Zeppelin covers.

Only as Beckett is coming off an injury. As such, they can easliy flip-flop by the end of spring.

if it were up to me, i'd stick beckett in the bullpen. he's done after his contract.

a.k.a, Diamondback & Red Sox hats respectively.

i'm a fan of that era and all the hits that came from it. i'm just not sure if I can sit through a whole set of them when they only had 2 good songs. I guess i'm spoiled as a def leppard fan.

it sux that pedro retired in philly.

did you know the dodgers were the first to sign him at age 16? it says so on baseball reference that he was signed as a amateur in 1988.

He is the anti- Bronson Arroyo, who is a pretty steady Eddie....

Now I know how Moxie feels about Wheeler.

What comes around does in fact go around.



And, when he was in L.A, he was just and only "little brother".

As I am checking into this, I found that there are now 2 Great Whites out there. (One with the band and new singer, the other with Jack White, and a new band. I also see that about 20 guys have shuffled through that gropu in the last 30 + years.

That, and I see there are about 5 songs of theirs I like.
