In baseball nothing really occurred the last couple of days. Some people continue to claim the sport needs a baseball cap, while others defends that it doesn't. And just so you know, it doesn't.
What's to be expected in the next couple of days/weeks?
- Continued talk about Manny's falling stock, although who seriously thought he was going to get 3+ years at $25m per. With that said, it's still looking pretty grim, crawling back to the Dodgers or going to a subpar team like the Nats or Orioles may be the only choices
- Heated up Derek Lowe and Oliver Perez talk as they're the biggest name pitchers available, not necessarily the best in Ollie's case.
- I'm feeling some strong Adam Dunn rumors, he's the best hitter available that teams can afford unlike Manny. He's similar to Abreu and Burrell except that he's younger, can play 1b, and is remarkably consistent at what he does. Abreu, a guy who's considered a walk/obp machine has seen his walks decline the past 3 years,hasn't slugged .500 in 4 years, and played the worst defense in RF this year, not a good track to be on. Dunn's waked 100+ times and hit 40+ homers the last 5 years. Dunn has his flaws, but when you focus on what he does well you realize how good he is.
- Lastly, some recaps on the sad faces of all the children who opened this up Christmas morning, or for any holiday celebration, let the war begin!
