This is something you don't like to see. Not sure why he would "walk out", but maybe he has been in denial about his career coming to a close. I am sure he'll right himself and have a proper retirement press conference.
a) out of baseball - retired b) apprarently out of baseball - incarcerated
On a somewhat related note, I find it refreshing to read that the NY media are still a bit concerned about how Farnsworth's psyche will adapt to NY and whether he is up for the role even after they invested $17MM on the guy. Yikes.
I know Boston is tough, but we have 3 new high profiled guys (admittedly not 3 years $17 MM profile) that are being billed as the new bigger, stronger bullpen.
But Seanez (who sucked in Boston, granted a while back), Taverez (a noted hothead, since his days in CLE), and Riske (who sucked sooooo badly last SEP the Tribe refused to use him in a penant race) don't seem to be facing a ton of scrutiny and question marks like the Fonz.
Joker Marchant Stadium? Awesome.

PS - nice new link on the CHB blog. will have to check out when I have more time...
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of giving the CHB blog its own post, since it's so great.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, ridiculous that just a year ago everyone was wondering why Detroit needed two All-Star closers; and now they have zero.
