He looks like Mark McGwire.

Vernon Wells to the Angels for Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera.

Was with the Braves for a while, they used him in non-save situations.

I liked his numbers in the minors. What?
-
I want to read Asian lady's exclusive interview with Hu. AL - "What will you do to bring more Asian players to the Mets?" CLH - "That's the job of the general manager. I just play baseball."
-
To be a similar ballplayer as Anderson Hernandez and shipped to the Nationals.
-
I had guessed Pridie (honestly I think even the Mets just saw him as a warm body until better opportunities came along) but I thought they'd also DFA Hernandez.
-
Andruw was a serious Hall candidate until his career completely crashed and burned, largely due to his run on Gold Gloves and his home run numbers. Posada will wind up in the Ted Simmons/Lance Parrish category of catchers. Cano and Teixeira? See Soriano, Alfonso and Giambi, Jason.
-
I agree entirely with his choice for #30. Seriously, Cleveland - grow up already.

I feel like we've had the Jon Rauch discussion every year the past five years running. We did just get 6'10" Chris Young.

Met-Lovin' Big Shots and Their Met-Lovin' Ways, 2011

Pujols contract, aka unnecessarily getting my hopes up....
Valadius replied to a topic in New York Mets Talk
Pujols is the finest player of his generation. I would be thrilled to have him here. -
Reported by AP this morning. Seriously, I see no path for Ollie Perez to stick around past Spring Training.

Valadius replied to a topic in New York Mets Talk
I like Ike, but who says Pujols has to play first? -
Well now, won't this be delicious? I can just imagine a backstabbing, tantrum-throwing Soriano moving to undercut Rivera and undermine Girardi all season long on some ego-driven quest to take the closer's job for himself.
-
The upside on Young is that signing him makes it increasingly untenable for Ollie Perez to stick around.
-
What's with the "HODGES" jacket?
-
I would venture to guess that non-expansion teams have had far more Ivy Leaguers as a function of both being around longer and the Ivies attracting better athletes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. See Gehrig, Lou.

But what is his stance on black uniforms?

Won't be as good as Green Lantern. Captain America should make up for it though.

Glendon Rusch 2.0.

Not here.

For example, I would like to see Larkin, Raines, Bagwell, and Edgar Martinez inducted next year. I would vote for more, but those four deserve it more than the rest right now, IMO. Even leaving alone for a moment the idea that a certain class size is better or worse than a certain other class size, what makes you come to the conclusion that the reason those YOU think should be in but aren't (not yet anyway) was the result of an unreasonably finite number of spaces on the ballot? I don't come to that conclusion. I think that restricting a ballot to 10 players has resulted in some players falling off that could use another look. The reason those four players aren't in yet is because too many voters unnecessarily restrict their ballots to one or two players, and then follow the crowd once they notice other voters stepping up their support.
