Dozier to sign with the Nationals.

Contract Numbers? If he got $8 million per season for three years he should be dancing in the streets.


Happy belated birthday. My mother shares that day with you.

Quite coincidentally, Bruce's birthday is on the day my dad died


Looks like Dozier got 1 year/ 8 million
Anyone still upset we didn't extend him?

Thanks Phil
That's him. Take the abuse, and move forward. Better man than I'll ever be.
Hope he returns to what he was.


More information from the Athletic is that he had a left knee bone bruise.....LA Dodgers Dr. apparently trained him in how to treat it so he could play last season and heal it completely for this coming season.

Plouffe and Jason Kubel had to be two players whose careers fell faster than a boat anchor on a cruise ship.

All the times we tried converting college relievers into starters with no success. Now the Pirates have a former college reliever who we never tried to convert and he is going to start a major league ballgame. Ya gotta laugh.
