Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.  So much potential but then Dusty Baker was their manager.

I don't know.   Playing in Fenway helped a lot.    We'll never know.    Such a horrifying injury.    It had to have contributed to his early death.    

He's always stuck with me, it happened when I was a kid and it all seemed so unfair.  As you get older you realize that life is unfair.  We had a kid on my 7th and 8th grade football teams that literally was unstoppable as a RB.   Last game 8th grade, tears his knee up and never plays again.  Things being so different then he rode the team bus home before they took him to the hospital.  50+ years later and I still can hear him on that ride. Sort of like Billy Sim's knee, what might have been.......

I think of Bo Jackson

Deion Sanders’ account of his college football encounter with Bo Jackson is an all timer.

Paddack to Miami. We play them in April. Score runs dummies!

Nick Castellanos has had a strange career.      I don't think it's over now.   I think he can redeem himself, but only as DH.  That guy couldn't catch a cold.       

I don't know if he's the worst defensive player of all time, I doubt it.  I am sure there are several guys that I've never heard of that were worse, but in the 21st Century - you could make an argument. 

Delmon Young was an adventure.

The article in the Athletic does not paint a pretty picture.

He never could field, now can’t hit and is a prickly d-bag.  I don’t see another team pursuing him.

Hope he saved up some money. He's gonna need it.
