Joe Jackson has the 3rd highest career batting average of all time while playing in the dead ball era. He was a master of the triple and an excellent CFer in an era where the mitts and other equiptment was a joke.
Honestly I don't know anything about how his trade went over, that is why I asked. I just know Mike's D would be a god send right now for this team.
He was sent to winter ball 4 days before his first child was due to be born - and there were complications and his fiance had been on bed rest for the last 7 weeks. He asked to delay for a week and he was told no. Two days after he was there she went into labor. He was told he could not leave. The day after his daughter was born while watching ESPN he found out about his trade on the ticker running across the bottom of the screen. When he got to Cincy he found out that the deal for Paul was in the works for "a couple weeks". There was no need for him to ever be sent to winter ball. His D would be great. But the fans of this team would murder him because of his K's.
Geesh. Who is the idiot in this organization who keeps doing this s***? We have a legacy of being assholes. And why do we keep doing it?
I just saw someone who said that Mike Cameron is a free agent after this season. Anyone have any idea how much time and money he is looking for, and if we were willing to offer it, would he play for the Sox again?
Danny Wright has the best arm on this team that I have seen. He just doesn't know how to harness it. Personally I think this is the PERFECT opportuinty to teach him to close.

Actually the winner was Ichiro with 3 points for his 2 walks and run scored. Yasny was the one who picked him.
I still don't believe the two days that Garrett Anderson had...
