    Yeah, I was reading on Martinez, and it looks like he's real versatile (plays short, second, and outfield - well, CF) and he's fast. Thing is I think they keep Valdez because he's cheap and solid defensively, and use Martinez as a late innning replacement sometimes along with being a pinch runner. This is why I think they keep 13 fielders instead of 12, along with the reasoning that you have 4, potentially 5, starters that can go on average 7 innings possibly 8, so keeping 13 pitchers may be a waste, plus wanting to keep an extra legit bat on the bench.

    Yeah, I was going to include the DeFratus character, but I'm just throwing names out there that I think will be on the opening day roster.

    And I love that the season is starting on a Friday. I think they're doing that because they want to start the season on April 1st no matter what day it falls on because of when the playoffs expand.

    ONly thing about keeping valdez and martinez is that if you keep both of them your really only have 2 pinch hitters. gload and someone not on the roster yet. schneider, valdez, martinez aren't scaring anyone if they have to pinch hit late in a game.

    They really need a RH OFer. I'm sure they will sign one and that should be the final piece to this puzzle. Still 2 months to spring training, so there is plenty of time

    Yeah, but isn't that what they essentially did last year? Had Gload and Francisco off the bench? And then Sweeney came. I wonder if he would take a massive cut to be here, seems like the kind of guy to do that. Then again, they need an outfield bat.

    yeah, I guess so. I don't even remember what the bench was heading into the season. francisco, gload, castro, schneider, dobbs??? so I guess they had 3 pinch hitters if you include dobbs.

    I'm sure the bench will work itself out. I'm not worried

    I'm sure that loser is charging for them. pete rose style.

    the two of them should have to fight TO/chad johnson to the death. that would be a small step in solving the worlds douche problem.

    HA. I had no idea. That's awesome. Unfortunately, I most likely will not be there. And ya think he could do a little better than Granite Run. That place is ghetto nowadays. I mean not as ghetto as Springfield Mall. But then again, I guess it's right on par for where he's at - I wonder if he'd take $50 for his '93 NLCS ring.

    I think he is funny. His comments and commentary are so over the top. He's like your buddy that says inappropriate stuff after having a few beers. I love those people.

    6 shooter cuff links....wtf ?

    You read some of the comments below the story ?



    With all due respect, Werth hit 186 with RISP. 139 with RISP and 2 outs. If you had 9 of him you would probably be very angry.

    So....Werth was pissed that the Phils signed Lee, and texted expletives back to Lee about it, as well as "booing" Amaro in a text.

    That's it, now I know who Werth is - the whole sister conflict aside, Werth is Kit after going to Racine.

    MARLA HOOCH......HOOCH

    "What do you suggest?"

    "A lot of night games." :lol:

    No, it definitely is funny. But between him saying the "invasions" are going to stop, the texts, being pissed, leaving for a boat load of cash. It's just funny.
