Werth is signed through the season in which he turns 38, which has the potential to be three years too long in the post-steriod era.Bob L.

Like just the thought of 7 years was a curse of some kind. Now Crawford signs 7 years and a lot more money and everyone calls the Sox brilliant. just sayinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-89532428074604519912010-12-09T09:06:19.632-05:002010-12-09T09:06:19.632-05:00I've read that Baltimore, Toronto, and San Die...I've read that Baltimore, Toronto, and San Diego are all looking for 1st basemen. <br /><br />I don't think San Diego will be much competition, since they are trying to dump salary. So, that leaves Baltimore and Toronto. <br /><br />After LaRoche and Derrek Lee, the 1st base market gets really thin, with the likes of Jorge Cantu, Troy Glaus, and Mark Kotsay.<br /><br />NO, NO, NO, NO TO NICK JOHNSONBallinonabudgetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-14906075052842652452010-12-09T08:59:58.431-05:002010-12-09T08:59:58.431-05:00Warm wishes to Eck and family.
