I'd have sworn most of those guys were dead or somefin...

I hope that Prentice Redman makes the Cards, and that he bumps Met-killer So Taguchi out of the righthanded hitting reserve outfielder spot. Later

Taguchi is hardly a reserve anymore, he played in 143 games for the Cards last season, no surprise that a lot of former Mets end up with Duke.

Jason Phillips is a non-roster invitee? that stinks because i'd have happily signed him instead of julio franco to backup 1b AND serve as the 3rd catcher :(

Richard Hidalgo signed a minor league deal with the Orioles on Sunday. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/26/AR2006022601172.html

Is that our Luis Lopez going to Baltimore?

metirish Feb 27 2006 09:55 AM

At one time they were all ours Cooby.

Or will be.... It is him, bless his heart http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player.jsp?player_id=117922 According to that chart, he played for them last year, I must have had my Luis radar turned off

I heard this morning that Melvin Mora will not play in the World Tourney because he will be staying with the O's to "resolve position and contract" problems. Hmmm. I wonder if he can plan second base. Later

Apparently his "position problems" are with Venezuela not with the Orioles. The national team wants him to play CF in the WBC and he's reluctant to switch there only to switch back once it's over. And I guess that he's in a contract year only exacebates his unease.

Didn't Bobby V say that he felt Mora had the potential to be one of the best defensive centerfielders around? It would only add to his value if he could show some of that ability. Later

Maybe, but I think his problem is that only Venezuela wants to use him as a CFer, not the O's.
