John B’s All Juice Team

Sosa has to play on the Multi-level cheaters team. Those who took steroids and corked their bats.

John B’s All Juice Team

Hey… every team needs a bench. There’s room for them all. Plus, there’s going to be injuries. You can’t have an All Juice team without season ending (career/life-threatening) complications.

John B’s All Juice Team

I thought about Sheffield and Giambi. I think that the other juicers at 1B and at DH are better. Would Sheffield be better in the OF than Palmiero or Canseco? And Sosa, I also left Sosa off the club. Is he better than Canseco?

I also read the Yankees renewed talks with Pettitte – since Houston signed Carlos Lee and Woody Williams, the chances of Pettitte’s return to Houston are dwindling. [...]

Hampton, Hudson

Even though he isn’t a Brave, Mike Hampton is back on the Atlanta payroll this year. For the last 2 years, the Braves have received insurace relief on Hampton’s bloated contract. This makes it difficult for the Braves to sign Andruw Jones.
One solution might be to find a dumping ground for Tim Hudson and [...]
