You're right. They don't got no reason to sign him.Quote:

But, really, where the hell did you get the idea of Raul Ibanez at third base?
Bradley was the DH for the Rangers:rolleyes::rolleyes:Quote:

He has one career game at third base, and made one error in his only chance.
I'd call you something referring to your (lack of) intelligence, but I don't want to end up banned.
Nope, he has only had 1 career game at 3B. You might be thinking about Edgar Martinez.Quote:

Yeah, Phillies seem like an odd place to go, especially since they have Stairs. I think the Rays are a nice fit, and have him PH for whoever is playing right, Joyce or Gross, both lefties who don't really hit lefties well.
people pile onto me all the time and nothing gets done, cuz I deserve it, but still.Quote:

I don't know why that would be, nor do I ever recall it being that way...but, see, a diehard baseball fan would be able to type www.baseball-reference.com into their URL bar and look up players before saying stuff about them. (Actually, anybody can do that!)Quote:

There are. But he's up there.Quote:

I hope Sheffield gets picked up by the Marlins. Hopefully he will play in right field - I have some good seats and was really hoping to get punched in the face by a right fielder once or twice.

[E]ven though Sheffield maintained that he didn't throw a punch, the tape shows that he took a full-blown swipe at the fan, before he even threw the ball back into the infield.
