Padres Release Edmonds, Shuffle Deck Chairs
Padres Release Edmonds, Shuffle Deck Chairs
So much for Jim Edmonds . Ducksnorts readers projected him to hit .255/.338/.418 , with the most pessimistic of us pegging his OPS at a limp 645. Sadly, the former All-Star didn’t even come close to those meager numbers, finishing his Padres career at .178/.265/.233 in 103 plate appearances and, more importantly, looking lost in center field. Edmonds has been released , and his spot

Piazza in Pinstripes?
Piazza in Pinstripes?
Yesterday I mentioned that Mike A. from River Ave. Blues brought up the idea of bringing in Mike Piazza since the only healthy catcher on the current roster is Chad Moeller.

Because of shoulder woes, 39 year-old DH Gary Sheffield hasn't hit well since July of last year.  He's an elite slugger when he's on but terrible when he's off.  In the midst of a third cortisone shot, Sheffield suggested that retirement is ...
