I am expecting big things from Freddie Lewis this year but I would be lying if I said I didn't love Pablo Sandoval as I expect huge things from this year I would love to see him in the 3 or the 5 this year.
Big fan of Shin-Soo Choo in Cleveland and Callaspo over in Kansas City. If the Royals get another arm I think they can compete in the central.

I’m no super athlete, but I can play baseball with the best of them. There was a time where I hadn’t touched a glove or bat for three years, and I was asked to fill in on a baseball team… and I was the best guy on the team. It’s not hard.
It’s America’s pastime because it’s easy. You have to run for less than a minute. You get to hit something. You have a big ass glove with webbing to catch something. You know the secret to catching a ball? You stand in front of it and stick your hand up. Bingo.

baseball players are pussies...
I’m talking major league pussies here.
Exhibit A: Sammy Sosa, muscular Home-Run hitter, misses games because he hurt his back sneezing.
Exhibit B: Wade Boggs, Hall-of-Famer, misses games because he strained his back while putting cowboy boots on.
Exhibit C: Kevin Mitchell was late reporting to spring training because he hurt himself eating a microwavable donut. I’m not making this up.
Exhibit D: MVP Jeff Kent broke his wrist… while washing a car at a self-serve car wash. Seriously. Are you fucking serious?
Exhibit E: Marty Cordova burned his face in a tanning bed and had to miss a game. Big. Gaping. Vagina.
Exhibit F: Glenallen Hill fell out of his bed, crashing into a glass table, while having a nightmare about spiders.
I rest my case.

And Chris, as being able to play with the "best of them out there" you would know hitting a baseball is considered the hardest thing to do in sports. Major leagues that is.

I guess you didn't read what Poskay accomplished... lol. He holds the ALL-Time GOALS scored record for HS.. not points GOALS at 362, that's almost 90 goals a season, that's ridiculous. We weren't Division A, but we did play Division A teams like DelBarton, Ridgewood, etc. We were top-20 his senior year and have been non-existent since. He was named MVP of the All-Star game his sophmore season, lol. Also won Rookie of the Year. I realize Gait's accomplishments and his records... but Poskay was on a STACKED Virginia team. He will be one of the greatest of all-time at Lacrosse, even though he's a douchebag who still hangs out in Highschool with all the coaches, lol. |

He didn't break the record, he shattered by like 50+ goals. Of all those guys, Jim Brown was probably the sickest of them all. |

The DH: A Professional Fat Guy – Hey, are you a tub of lard with a dream of being a professional athlete. Fear no more. You too can still be a professional athlete! The Designated Hitter role is tailor-made for you and other high level pros who don’t like to run.
Diet Schmiet
Just swing a bat, jog to first, get replaced by a real athlete who likes to run, and collect your millions. Don’t worry about things like diet and training. Those are for suckers. You’re a DH. You’re a professional batting cage attendee.

Worst interviews ever – On the whole, sports interviews suck worse than an MTV awards show, but baseball players bring a whole new level of annoyance to interviews. Why even bother talking to these morons? They have no personality.
“We played hard. Just taking each game as they come. We just have to keep working and playing hard. We have to stay focused. It’s a long season. Anything can happen. We’re making the right adjustments. Our team is really starting to come together. We’re going to make a run for the playoffs.”
Hey look, I just covered every baseball interview for the past 50 years.
