***OMAR BEING CAREFUL***
If you want to be a General Manager, you have to manage every area of your team. You have to consider length of contracts, defensive positions, lineup positions and even clubhouse chemistry. Omar Minaya even pays attention to room on the disabled list, which is why he asks for all the medical records on free agents BEFORE negotiations start. I can't wait to find out what kind of spin Scott Borus puts on those: "Why, this is the same kind of elbow problem Catfish Hunter had. See what company he's in?" Trouble is, that kind of manipulation will work on some GM's.
***FIELDING GRADES BECOMING MORE PRECISE***
Picasner has always felt that numbers do not come close to determining the value of a player on defense. But, the scouts are always trying. They have come up with a new rating for defense, but it's only been applied to one player so far: Jason Giambi, 1st base: Horrible. (True story)
***WHAT ARE THE ODDS?***
According to Dwight Perry, Seattle Times, If the Detroit Lions played in the days of Julius Caesar, they would be 10-point underdogs to the Christians.
***PLEXICO BURRESS SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE FOOT***
No, really! He was "accidentally" shot in a nightclub last night.
How could you make this stuff up?
