Impressive turn there by phillps.
Do you want CajoleJuice to show up at your house and flog you?No bunt huh
Jon Heyman just posted on Twitter that the Royals offered Pudge Rodriguez a major league deal before the 2012 season but he retired anyways.
Statehood? not in my lifetime, if ever...republicans won't allow it, and with both economies fucked up, (PR's more so), it makes no financial sense for the US to allow it.
Anyway, I'm just disappointed that by the time the next WBC rolls around, the only major league player on the roster will be zombie Angel Pagan and maybe zombie Rios... including PR in the draft really ruined/killed player development here...
The attendance of the U.S games is sad.
I thought baseball was the national pastime. :/
football has over taken it

what happened in Puerto Rico that they don't seem to produce as much players as they used to?It used to be like the wild west around here, scout visits PR, sees 15-17 year old playing, signs him for a small bonus, goes off to the minors.
MANY players signed that way, only a handful become MLB regulars or all stars
Now anyone from PR that you want to sign has to be drafted in the MLB amateur draft, which overall means less people from PR getting signed, and even less making it to the bigs.
A scout nowadays can go anywhere else in the caribbean or central/south america and get more done than trying to do so in PR.
Who starts for the US on Thursday?
can't wait to watch team USA get raped by either Puerto Rico or Dominican Republic.
