I just hate to see my boy Nixon leave...but it's a business.

Talk to me about Lugo...did he do much for ya'll in the 2nd half of the season?


Maddox signing with the Pads??? doesnt help you guys much there.

Well,I think you got ripped off badly with Drew.Believe me,I am glad he is gone.Not a hundred percenter.Puts in anywhere from 60% effort to 95% effort.I don't think the guy gave 100% effort for us the whole time he was here.Now you got 2 like that.As far as Lugo goes,I wanted to give him a chance here.He was really pressing for us last year.Nervous/Stressful type that was having a good season at Tampa,but didn't seem comfortable in the field, or at the plate (for us.) I don't know how they could consider paying what? 36 mil/4 years? I think Epstein must of been smoking dope to think he deserves anywhere near that.He could play well for you,but won't surprise me if he struggles at the plate.Good glove,but that would be an expensive glove.


"did he do much for ya'll in the 2nd half of the season?"

No,sir.He did not do much.That's the simple answer.

I'm pretty positive that Drew has never shown more than 80% in his life. I hope Stephen is not the same way.

Steven is a FIRECRACKER...even JD says so!

Barring the draft fiasco with JD, I just don't think his heart is really into playing baseball. tons of talent. LaRussa would still have him, if he was a 100% player.
