    Holding off on booking my spring training trip until this announcement. If PJ hits florida in march I will be one happy dude

    So wait, is there some kind of tour coming or something?

    Wrecking ball goes to town on the Spectrum tomorrow.

    Apparently there is going to be an announcement made this week. Speculation is now a EV solo tour.

    RIP Spectrum...wish they'd keep that place for concerts

    Him and Iverson - both of them I can see some kind of biopic.

    "Soft as Nails: The Rise & Fall of Len Dykstra" starring Sean Astin.

    it will end with either the phils or mets hiring him as a hitting instructor or something....baseball made him millions but ultimately helped destroyed his life.....baseball then later saves his life. lenny! lenny! lenny!

    sadly Jaegs i don't see it ending that well - did you see the HBO Real Sports story on him last year? He looks and acts crazy. i got a bad feeling it ends in a bad way for Lenny. Hope I'm wrong because he was one of all time favorites as well, will never ever forget him in '93. he was incredible in the playoffs.

    I don't mind him, but he's replaceable. And I'm sure whatever he got in arbitration would've been more than they would like to pay him.

    And I just read that Detroit didn't offer Mag Ordonez arbitration. Might be a good fit for a year, especially not having to surrender any picks.

    yeah, if he comes cheap he could be a decent fit.

    great article breaking down the arb process and compensation, which can be confusing

    Yeah, I've been hearing/reading things since Friday saying something to that effect. Dude who got a job on the radio from being a constant caller - Phil From Mount Airy - I guess thinks he's a legit person in the business now because he's going around throwing out the phrase, "my sources". Yeah, I'm sure he has sources. :roll:

    Anyway, for what it's worth, the word is a 3 yr deal for around 55 mil with an option for a 4th year. Who knows. Probably all bullshit.
