***VARITEK SIGNS***
Well, it's about time. For those of us who wondered why he didn't accept arbitration, there was at least a plan behind it. If he accepted and received say, $10 million, the Sox could have released him in spring training and only be responsible for a portion of that amount. Nobody believes that this was going to happen, but apparently this is what Jason and Boras were trying to avoid.
*** SUPERBOWL NOTE***
Picasner has noticed an interesting trend in Superbowl predictions. All the "experts" are saying the same thing: "I wouldn't be surprised if the Cardinals won, but I'm picking the Steelers". Way to go out on a limb, guys. You sure don't want to be wrong and lose that cushy TV job. Is there anyone who has the guts to make a definite prediction?
*** "THE GUIDING LIGHT?" ***
This refers to Scott Boras, of course, in the neverending soap opera that is Manny. Baseball Prospectus has analyzed the situation and determined that the best places for Manny are: #1 The Mets, #2 the Dodgers, #3 the Indians. Their determination was where Manny could make the biggest difference in the standings. They also feel that Boras' willingness to hold out for the longest term and the most money means that he will most likely end up with the Mets.
***GIANTS ARE BLAMING PLAXICO***
Well, that didn't take long. Picasner believes that was ultimately the difference, but you would think the players would let the body get cold first. It also happens that his replacement, Taye Biddle, has also been shot. Greg Cote thinks the Giants should consider bullet-proof uniforms.
***YANKEES COMPLETE SIGNINGS FOR THE YEAR?***
With the signing of Brian Bruney, the Yanks seem to be done, at least for now. Sorry Scott, now the Yanks can't be one of the 'Mystery Teams'. ...Anybody here believe that? I thought so.
