SOSA HEADED TO YANKS?
Rumors are swirling, folks. Could Sammy be heading to New York?
We might as well dig up the Piazza posts, because I feel the same way about this one. In fact, I like it more, because Sosa can double as a backup outfielder while Piazza could not really play firstbase. He is the ideal right side of our DH platoon.
For those of you who think Bernie is bound for 500 abs this year, I say you're mad. He'll either break down or will split time, but it's one or the other. He will not play that much. We didn't sign him to play that much, he was told when signing that he wouldn't play that much. And I still think Cash doesn't want to start the season with that lousy bench.
Bring on Sammy!

This is George's dream- it has been that way for a long, long time. Sammy Sosa making mince-meat out of baseballs in the Stadium. My question to you all is this: Can Sammy still bring it? I am concerned.
Ah what the hell, right? If he sucks, we're right back where we started- no power from the bench anyways. How do you think sammy will handle being on the bench next to Bernie and Andy Philips? Man, that's wild.
Oh, and another great snippet from Tony's linked article:
"With Randy Johnson's personal catcher gone to Boston as a free agent, Jorge Posada said yesterday he wants to sit down with the Big Unit and "talk it out." The marriage of high-strung pitcher and high-strung catcher didn't work last year, so John Flaherty caught Randy Johnson for much of 2005."
According to ESPN, Sosa is retiring.
If he does retire, then Sosa will be eligle for our PROFILES IN SUCCESS award in five years... that's if any of us are around to give it to him. In that same class will also be Shigetoshi Hasegawa.
That reminds me, aren't we due to nominate Bobby Bonilla?
Is that you, Mike Winston? If so, welcome. If not, welcome. Welcome.
