***PETTITTE WANTS TO RETURN TO THE YANKS***
And the Yanks have indicated they want him back. What's the problem? They don't want to pay him big money, that's what. So they'll let him wait a while and maybe get him cheaper. Maybe.
***THE BREWERS ARE "ASKING AROUND" ABOUT MELKY CABRERA***
Um, why don't they ask the Yanks? Aren't they the ones who have him? It's pretty bad when a guy disappears so fast and so completely, no one knows who he plays for.
***MARINERS CONSIDERING BOBBY VALENTINE***
Bobby's been managing in Japan for years. He's not a players manager; they don't like him. The Mariners should hire him. That way, Ichiro won't be the most unpopular Japanese-speaking guy in the clubhouse.
***MANNY'S MONEY NOT SO GREAT***
Reportedly, a lot of the Dodgers big offer is deferred money; that is, salary paid AFTER the term of the contract, probably without interest. This effectively reduces the actual value of the contract significantly. Yeah, Scott Boras will fall for this one.
***SPEAKING OF SCOTT***
Man, this guy is worth a a whole posting on his own. Have you ever heard of Oliver Perez? I mean, if you're not a Mets fan. Well, you will. Seven years in the majors with 55 wins. Boras has written a book about him...with 8 chapters. The "book" compares him to Santana, Sabbathia, Hamels, and (everyone please sit down) Randy Johnson and Sandy Koufax! Sandy Koufax? Why, are they both Jewish? The chapters have headings like "Durable Ollie", "Big Game Ollie" and "Perez Turns a Corner". That's as opposed to being able to "pitch" on the corner. Sounds like Yankee material, doesn't he sports fans? The Yanks like pitchers who can turn a corner. Melky should get Boras as his agent. The Yankees would be dragging uniform #7 out of retirement, by the time Scott was through.
Ya gotta love this guy!
