I would have thought Andruw tipped the scales!
Don't forget, as part of Fatty Jones opt out clause, the Dodgers get half of the money he makes with the new team he signed with.
So thats another $250K coming our way.
I actually hadn't looked at Andruw's #s this year, although I knew he was doing better with Texas. Still, a .214 average? Wow, this guy was a future Hall of Famer, and had a shot to be considered one of the best OFs of all time.
It'd be surprised if he gets over 40% HOF vote now. What the Hell, Andruw?
He was doing better for a short amount of time (big power burst) but didn't last long. Just .14 north of Mendoza says a lot.
Orel, aren't you forgetting Andruw Jones' 2009 playoff contributions?
Oh, wait. Scratch that.
that is actually a good trade =)
Caption for the Padilla picture?
Can't think of one off the top of me head. I do think that if Padill had been with us in July, he would have floored Douche Mode or put one in his ribs.
And there would be much rejoicing.
as bad as Andruw was this past season, he still hit 17 HR.
he's sitting on 388. He's 32.
this sounds really crazy, but i think he has an OUTSIDE chance at 500
JL: So he just has to gain 112 more pounds?
you got me Josh
i'm cracking up right now :D
well he needs to lose weight
i met that guy when i was working at niketown
he was nearing obese
Josh S, LOL
Ken, I hope he wasn't in the petites section
The only thing Andruw's getting bathed in is meatloaf.
