In a Perfect World



I was looking over diffrent sites on the soon to be A-rod deal, just marveling at what their lineup looks like. It then suddenly struck me. The Yankees need a second baseman. And the Texas Rangers need a SS. In my perfect little dream world Mark Grudzielank would have his bags packed and heading to the Yankees to be their every day 2nd and bat #9. Alex Gonzalez would be shipped out to the Texas Rangers to give them at the very least a competent fielder. Hell we will even pay half his salary.

As you know i hate Agonz with a passion, i would rather see some rookie be given a shot to hit .220 than watching this piece of garbage do it and for $5.5 million a year no less. Poor hitting, great defensive SS's are a dime a dozen for the league minimum. And just think if it wasnt for Agonz we could of had Kaz Matsui for SS at $7 million. $5.5 million for Agonz, $7 million for Matsui? Hmm hmm hmm?

Maybe when he is actually gone we can seriously look at fixing this position. A rookie 2nd and a rookie 1b hit .250 and .230 and their asses were shipped so quick it wasnt even funny. Yet the human garbage machine still resides. It wasnt acceptable for them, how is it for Alex Gonzalez?

Street and Smith's Baseball Preview: Also for those of you living in the midwest region of the USA, Street and Smith have a great cover shot of Mark Prior and Kerry Wood. So naturally i had to pick it up. Overall they gave the Cubs a 93 grade and predicted us to win the division with St. Louis and Houston finishing 2nd and 3rd. As long as we dont make the Sports Illustrated cover we should be fine.

Update: Ivy Chat is expressing the same interest i am in getting rid of Alex Gonzalez. If it wasnt for Steve Bartman, Alex Gonzalez would of been lynched by the media and fans for missing that routine grounder.
