This is going to be a fun team to watch this year. The lineup is deep and lots of possibilities with Musgrove, Paulino, and Martes. If they dont do much prior to the trade deadline, the system is stacked to make a move for a bonafide stud for the second half.

He listened to Scott Boras too much. How did his years in NY work out?
Also, he left after the 2004 season. He wanted a ring, well guess what, who was in the World Series in 2005??? Could we have won in 2005 with him? We would have had a lot better chance.
Astros offered 7 years and $105mm. He signed for $119mm. Says the sticking point was a no trade clause. Whatever. He leveraged the Astros for as much as he could, then left. And still hasn't won a ring. He got greedy
