Heyman On Pudge, Pedro, Catalanotto

Boras: "You say they are interested in Pudge, I don't care whether its true or not!"

Heyman: "But.."

Boras: "If you want access to my negotiations, say it!"

..what a tool

I doubt Pedro will go to Oakland. I think they are happy with the pitchers that they have right now, and they want to see how they do. Gallagher should be much improved, as well as the other youngsters in that rotation.

Pedro does make sense in Washington, and the Dodgers do need something in their rotation, as there's not much OOMPH factor there. I mean, after Billingsley and Kuroda, you have an improving Kershaw (I highly doubt he'll dominate this year... yet), and Wolf (who's definitely going to miss half his starts, lol). I doubt he will go to the Dodgers as a closer, as I think they are more than happy to let Broxton run away with the job.

Andruw Jones is at a crossroads now in his career. He either makes it this year, or he's flamed out. I mean, if he can't hit in a ballpark designed for hitters, and with one of the best pitching coaches in the league, who else would want him? His calling card, his defense, has disappeared, and he wasn't even that good of a hitter to begin with (yes, he had power, but his contact rate was pretty bad. Can't remember the numbers).

Andruw Jones was a good hitter. He sported an OPS+ of over 110 for 8 out of 9 years (98-06). He hit 30+ HR's in 6 out of 7 years (00-06). Throw in GG defense and Andruw was easily a top player in the game for a long time.

Pedro back to Dodgers? Took 2 ownership and multiple GM changes to make that go thru his mind....if he's even thinking it. He'd be a baddazz closer.

the dodgers wont use him as a closer, ala broxton. they'll use him as the 5 starter.

also, Paul making an impression on Torre, do they keep 3 catchers? Ausmus, Martin, and Paul, or are they going to have him be in AAA

Any team can get Catalanotto if they are willing to give J.D a free queso at Chili's.

Oh wow, my bad. i really have no idea who i was thinking about. kinda funny, i looked at the box score today at around 1pm, and was wondering why he was playing right.

now that i know hes a catcher, delwyon young had shoulder surgery this offseason. if he cant be healthy when the season starts, paul could take his spot, or he could go to AAA, like you said.
