Twas Two Weeks Before Christmas
By Mike T.
Twas two weeks before Christmas and all through the clubhouse,
Not a creature was stirring, not even A-Rod, that louse!
Free agent pockets were hung by their lockers with care,
With hopes that St. Steinbrenner soon would be there.
The fans were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of past championships danced in their heads.

Mike is more accurate
Mike’s proposal is more accurate, he has a better gauge of the market. I emphasize talent more, and I would never recommend to an owner (if I were a GM) the kind of money they are talking about for such an unproven talent. So, I ‘m not a good judge. The right [...]

Tense in Boston
Boras is one cool character! He’s holding a pair of 3’s and he’s bluffing like he’s got a full house. The RedSox are flying out there on John Henry’s plane to make another offer, and Boras hasn’t even countered the first offer. How does he do it?

Tense in Boston
The Red Sox brain trust have flown out to CA. in an attempt to sign Dice K. They made one offer and now are prepared to make a second offer. Just who are the Red Sox bidding against? It sounds like themselves. The organization has pinned their pitching hopes on Dice [...]
