Baseball Report: Spring training starts next week.
Andrew Jones, alone on the range
You may have heard... Andruw Jones, once the finest center feilder in major league baseball, accepted an offer for $500,000 with the Rangers MINOR LEAGUE team. This is after the Yankees and the Braves put offers on the table. But don't feel sorry for him ... the Dodgers are still paying out his annual $3.5 million check. Talk about someone who is stealing his paycheck. The debate rages on as to why AJ would turn down offers to stay in LA, go to New York or return to Atlanta. The truth, he is lazy and doesn't want to listen to a hitting coach's advice. He wants to be where there is no pressure to perform. What a tool!!!! And to think I once respected the guy.
About the money?
In other news, Tom Glavine claims "it's not about the money," but yet remains undecided on whether to take the $2 million, $3 million with incentives, to walk into the sunset and finish his career in Atlanta, where it all began. He is playing the market, seeing if he can get the price up. Well, sounds to me like it is about the money, isn't is always?
Liar, liar comes under fire (and then comes clean)
And my favorite MLB story of the day... A-Rod comes clean, which is what he should have done. While it was wrong that the results of a cumulitive, confidential steroid test given to players in 2003 was leaked, it is time he manned up. After denying ever using steriods in an interview with Katie Couric, all seemed well. That was until Sports Illustrated broke a story saying he tested positive in 2003. The truth, this won't ruin A-Rod. It was several years ago, and the Yankees fans forgave Jason Giambi when he came clean. Breaking rules is bad, but lying about it is even worse.
