Still more Sammy
SI has a piece on the return of Sammy Sosa...
Bleah.
And reading this piece, I'm trying to figure out how we went from, Sammy Sosa is a no-risk NRI who will be released if he doesn't perform this spring, to, Sosa is going to be DHing and will get a month or two during the season to try to get his groove back...
Oh, and here's why I'm not re-assured by Rudy Jaramillo's contention that Sosa can still hit:
That's from a Randy Galloway column dated March 4, 2006...in other words, basically this time last year.

No surprise to me
As for the Rudy quotes, it's pretty much what is said in every camp this time of year. Everyone is healthy, in great shape, and is going to have a great year.

Adam quote
Just replace Nevin with Wilkerson and it's 2007.

Sosa article

He mentions how he's been great for the game of baseball, and some other tidbits.
I didn't recall that.
The big differences between Sosa and Nevin, is that Nevin had a guaranteed contract, and Daniels has been publicly a little cautious on Sosa. I think there is a better chance of the Rangers cutting bait on Sosa.

Washington is making me very nervous, being so commited to Sosa already. Let's see him in at least one ST game before we anoint him the 5th hitter in the lineup.
So far Washington
I'm hoping that is more morale boosting rah rah than reality. If folks don't perform, I hope he is able to adjust.
I hope
If that's true
I think right now Im gonna pretend they know what they are doing. Because if they don't, the franchise is probably screwed for another 5 years.
Yes

Riiiiiiiiight.
This manager
he can give inspirational speeches to the media but there are already a handful of comments he's made that don't sound good that people are having to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I don't disagree with Jaramillo's comments from
Don't forget that it was about this time last year that Rudy was diagnosed with cancer and wasn't around to coach anyone.
