I didn't realize the O's got Lombardozzi in the Gonzalez deal.  That's a great deal for the O's, turning a minor league contract for Gonzalez into an under control utility guy.

Gonzalez cut,  cost the Tigers $1.1 million. I'm not even going to look up Lombardozzi 's salary but I know it's not $1 million

I have to think we are signing Drew right after the draft, but this whole kerfuffle has been bizarre. At least we got Krol outta all this but still I think dombrowski got hosed a bit. Good thing our division sucks...

Speaking of the Tigers, when is Chris "Brady" Davis going to start hitting some home runs?

About 36 hours after he gets his next steroid injection, assuredly.

I expect such nonsensical goading from Ford.  But steroids?  Really?

Brady Anderson had one year where he hit more than 50..totally an outlier.....we know why

what i don't get is why ryan braun is getting so much love..


its amazing how much a guy like bonds got villified..then you have an admitted cheater (once? I think twice) and he's getting standing ovations? and people talking on mlb network about how great a hitter he is?


i actually think all of that stuff should be legal (within the law....ie, they could go abroad to get their stuff if its illegal to do in the US..i don't know) but if people are goign to get on the ballplayers they should apply the same standard.

Yeah, but the great/worst thing about baseball is that you usually play again the next day and have a chance at redemption.

That being said, it'll be great to have Manny back.

Yes it will.  And baseball is a marathon, not a sprint :)

Braun only got a standing o at home. On the road, he gets jeered and heckled.  Bonds, like Rodriguez and Roger Clemens, is getting extra hate for the lying on top of the cheating.

it's not out of line to say bonds gets some extra hate for two other reasons: he was really, really, good, and he's black.
