***FIRST, THE HALL OF FAME***
Ricky Henderson made it and that's okay with Picasner. Jim Rice also made it, and that's not. He was a good ballplayer and a feared hitter (for a couple of years), but he was not a game-changer. By that I mean, he wasn't the type to carry a ball club for a week; he wasn't the guy that pulled victory from the jaws of defeat. And he was NOT an athletic outfielder. Well, he's in so I'll stop whining.
Bert Blyleven didn't make it and he should have. Look up his numbers; they're as good or better than some who are in. So he never won a Cy Young Award. As Bert's wife points out, Cy Young never won a Cy Young Award.
***Michael Young of the Texas Rangers***
Mike wants to be traded. Why? Because the Rangers want him to move to 3rd base and he doesn't want to. "I was never asked. I was flat-out told I was playing third base. I felt I had no say." Let's see, Mike, they're paying you which means they are the Employer so you don't have any say. It's not like they're asking you to take a pay cut. They wouldn't dare: everyone knows how difficult it is to get along on $16 million a year. It's hard to know where your next Porsche is coming from. Listen Mike, A-Rod moved and he could make you look like you were playing short in hip boots. And you're getting almost half what he is. Play where they tell you!
***PRINCE FIELDER A RED SOX?***
That's what I'm reading, even tho' Milwaukee says no way. Ortiz and Fielder. Wow!
That would be a really heavy line up...no pun intended...well, yes it was. Better order some more uniform material.
