You mean guys like former Red-Hot and recently acquired Berliner - Eric
Hosmer?

Now that there are no more Pippen prognostications, I have turned to the
fifth member of the Winick clan - Ms. Sophie Winick, our 3 year old
Cavalier/Poodle.  She is the only one that stays up with me while I wile
away the evenings preparing to do battle.  It turns out that I talk to
myself during my preparations and Sophie has been paying attention.  And she
has discerned some clear patterns.  Over the course of the next few days, I
will be sharing some of her observations with the league.  We'll begin with
her reaction to the rumors of A-Rod's injury problems and the implications
that will have upon his draft value.  She stated, and I believe I have this
verbatim:

"The guy you refer to as Mr. B. will buy A-Rod.  And he'll pay far too much
- something in excess and potentially well in excess of $35."

She has many others observations and there are more coming every night.  And
mind you, these aren't of the obvious sort.  It isn't like she'll be
predicting that all of the young Minnesota pitchers will be on the Brats
roster or that the rebuilding Red Hots will fill its roster with players not
old enough to drink.  No, these are key, outcome-determinative predictions.

One more example:  "Prepare for the guy that you call Brad Lee and the guy
who falls in love with his players (I think his name is Rich) to engage in
an epic battle for Grady Sizemore.  He will be the most expensive player at
the draft."  

More to follow.

On a related note, please note that retention rosters are due by 5:00 p.m.
on Sunday.  Failure to comply will result in Sophie making your choices for
you.

No.  That would be near the hip but not actually on the hip.  Sort of
between the hips and to the rear.  Oh, wait . . . you mean the other kind of
'roids.  Never mind.

I'll bit $3 anyway.

ESPN.com news services

 <http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=nyy> Yankees third baseman
<http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=3115> Alex Rodriguez
will have surgery to remove a cyst from his right hip and will be out 10
weeks, Rodriguez's brother told ESPNdeportes.com on Thursday.

Joe Rodriguez, Alex Rodriguez's older brother, told Enrique Rojas of
ESPNdeportes.com during a phone interview that immediate surgery was
recommended, and that rehabilitation would take about 10 weeks. 

A source close to the situation told ESPNdeportes.com that the surgery is
scheduled for Monday in Colorado.

There has been no confirmation from the Yankees regarding the scheduled
surgery.

 

   I'll bid $2.

  Rick
