Speaking only for myself, I've been quite happy with the frequency of offseason posts and am confident that if and when something breaks, he'll be on it. But guess what? There's a new post up. :-)<br /><br />(And trolls will only step it up if you show that they're getting to you. They won't be happy until they drive people off every site on the interwebz. And probably not then, either, because they're trolls and all. My advice, which I *try* to follow, is just ignore 'em.

I saw an article about him, 3 batting titles and he apparently can field his position as well. One writer said he would be the 2nd best hitter from Japan after Ichiro. Pretty high praise, and he does not look to be as expensive as Darvish as far as the posting and negotiations go.sjm308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-13259435077312394402011-12-11T23:48:00.499-05:002011-12-11T23:48:00.499-05:00To anyone I have offended, I did mention that peop...To anyone I have offended, I did mention that people over on another site might act a little less polite than here (and they also know how to use the BOLD PRINT) and if I upset someone I do apologize. My point was that this site is civilized, and I guess I rankled an Anon. Not really that upset about anyone who can't even figure out how to leave more then just Anon after a comment but I guess I was out of line calling out NJ commenters. Still, if I am going to be insulted, it would be nice to know who is doing it. Like I mentioned in my first post, I don't even bother to read comments on NJ after PMcP took hold. <br /><br />Sec. 3, maybe I can come over and relax on your sofa. Its just so stressful being called names.<br /><br />What is funny is if nasty Anon had looked at my posts he would see that I agree with him that you can't have too much pitching, no matter if its left or right handed and as rough as Slaten pitched the last month, I would keep him for now.sjm308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-23743430961009283582011-12-11T21:34:54.980-05:002011-12-11T21:34:54.980-05:00Thx, 1a, bringing the interesting, as always.
