Pickoff Moves
Roster Notes
As usual, stolen from Rotoworld...- The Dodgers are after Joey Gathright, and Jonathan Broxton, Justin Orenduff, or Edwin Jackson are rumored tradebait.
- Agent Scott Boras says he won't listen to any offer under five years for Johnny Damon; the Dodgers are now involved, and Damon will be in Los Angeles this weekend.
- The Nats have extended an offer to Jarrod Washburn.
- The Snakes look like they've finally moved Javier Vazquez, according to Sportsline.com, to the White Sox for a package of Chris Young, Orlando Hernandez and another pitcher.
- Without attribution, but Rotoworld says the Diamondbacks signed RHP Jason Grimsley, presumably as a reliever.
Braves May Finally Be On The Block
ESPN says the Braves, along with their cable network, Turner South, may be finally on the auction block after years of Time-Warner control. The franchise was estimated by Forbes to be worth $374 million in 2004.OT: Fun Things To Do With A Laser Engraver
Plaschke Admits Error, Jesus Christ Seen In Los Angeles Neighborhood
Bill Plaschke, whom this space takes no small delight in puncturing, confesses to making a mistake regarding Milton Bradley. Probably the least bad column he's written in months, we can only assume this is a temporary aberration to be corrected presently.
Comments:
that plaschke column was just as bad as the rest. so he said he was wrong about something. big deal, that was just a device. the larger point he's making was that bradley shouldn't have been brought here in the first place (by that fool depodesta) and that bradley is a terrible person. as with ALL his columns, it's totally unobjective, one-sided, and unfair. balance and nuance are not words in plaschke's vocabulary. it's always all-or-nothing with him, when the reality is that life is just about never that cut and dry. every time i read one of his articles i just want to kick him in the pants.
Has Plascke gotten worse over time? Or have I just gotten less tolerant?
Years ago, I thought he was a pretty good columnist. Now, I have to agree with Vishal's general statement about Plaschke's columns.

How on Earth can the Nationals be considering signing Washburn? Can you imagine the crap that will fly between him and Guillen?
Plaschke also said Bradley was an "erratic fielder" (not true - he was above average, or average at worst) and possessed "little power" (really??? His HR totals from '05 projected to 26 HRs. And he hit 19 the year before. That qualifies as "little power"?).
Such an ass.
Such an ass.

If Plaschke continues to look back at his columns and point out his mistakes, he'll have material for the next five years.
