@Cecilia: How old is he really, 84? Is he having broth for dinner?

Wow working on the Elvis Andrus post in on your birthday. Clearly he’s a special guy to you. Having seen him play exactly 0 times, but having a keyboard in front of me I think I’m qualified to make a prediction on Andrus. I think he goes off and straight up Steve Youngs Michael Young out of town.

Woobie? Oye, was that a Mr Mom reference? I think I would have felt better about myself not getting it.

@Grey: Happy B-day buddy, you didn’t let us know. We would have baked a cake, doubt it………..

@Sean:

I did spit my coffee. Great post — first time visitor, but I’ll be back.

35 steals… That’s a fine, solid number… Happy Birthday, Grey!

@Steve: I think that's good for his value. Will mean that he'll play more games/get more at-bats. I wouldn't move him up on the catcher list yet, but it's potentially good news. It's not going to stop him from hitting around .245 though.

@Grey: Not related to Elvis (although I love the 68 Comeback Special), but did you see where there's talk Napoli could be DH-ing a lot in 09? Thoughts?

@JR: @sean: Thanks, glad you enjoyed! @BigFatHippo: @drizzle21: I forget when I said it exactly, but I think I was the first one to say Andruw Jones will not make the Hall of Fame because of his laissez faire attitude.

@BigFatHippo: What's so terribly ironic about that is that both players were on the Braves at the same time (albeit one was in the majors and the other the minors). I bet we all know which one the Braves would rather take back and pay the minimum to, and it's not Mr. My-Lack-of-Conditioning-Will-Cost-Me-the-Hall-of-Fame.

If Andrus turns into the fat Elvis, will he change his name to Elvis Andruw Jones?

Just wanted to let you know that I almost spit my coffee at the monitor laughing about the Tony Gwynn bit earlier…

“Young’s agreed to drag his woobie over to third.”

Seriously funny.

@IowaCubs: I'd say potentially 35 steals.

@Grey: So... 20 steals guy who bats 9th? I can dig it.

@youngid: He has good range, but his arm's unpredictable. As I said above, I doubt he makes the club out of the spring.

Apparently he’s got the tools to be a great defensive shortstop, just needs some time. If I was the rangers, I’d leave him in the minors for another year. I still think they’re going to win that division, once they sign Ben Sheets.

@IowaCubs: You smell Joey Gathright trying to play shortstop.

IowaCubs — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:24:30 +0000

I smell Eugenio Velez here.
