The Marlins experiment is fascinating to me.  I think Jennings fails miserably, but don't confuse that with me hoping he succeeds.  I just don't think he will...

It's one of those things that just seems on its face as a 99% chance its a miserable tire-fire.

anybody notice those ads on ESPN called "Rule 661" all about AROD?? Seems like they are MLB ads... I'm surprised they are using him in  promo ads for baseball....

Josh Hamilton 0-3, with 2Ks.

Still a  bargain for the Rangers.

yeah, when someone else is paying almost your entire salary, that's almost always a bargain.... especially when you're gonna get the chance to beat them multiple times the rest of your tenure.....

Unless, you're paying them to have him in their lineup to actually hurt their team:

0-4, 1K.  Now 0-2 with RISP.

(I don't actually believe this, mind you, and I would have traded him to the Astros if I this were the case)

Mets trade OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis to Angels for cash considerations.

I'm not going to lie - my first response was "Who?"

there might be some kernel of truth in this.... I don't think they would've traded him within the division unless they thought he was pretty much done, kinda like the Eagles trading McNabb to the Redskins.... the Eagles ended up being right, guess we'll get a chance to see if the Angels were.....
