Thirsty Thursday

Just another lovely day in Northern New York. Supposed to get 8-12'' of snow followed by a couple of days of below zero temps. This after it was just 53 two days ago. Gotta love it.
Let's see what's new in the baseball world for today. Jose Contreras signed with the Phillie's for 1 year 1.5 million. Damon is still looking for a home. There was talk of him going to the Reds but then there was talk after that saying no go on the Reds. Who knows where he will end up. I will put money on it that he will not be on my team, the Pirates and I am glad of that. Let's see another report came in that Brandon Webb wants to test the FA market. John Smoltz might go with the Pedro philosophy and try to sign on with a team mid-year if the Met's do not make the 2 year old their 5th starter. Why couldn't my father be trying to play major league baseball at that age. Dodgers are showing some interest in Garrett Anderson for some reason. Rangers who have made some moves this off season are showing a fringe interest in Melvin Mora. Several team's are showing interest in Hisanori Takahashi (sorry if i spelled it wrong i am not great with foreign name spelling, and well spelling all together) The reported team's showing interest are Orioles, Dodgers, Mets, Red Sox, and Giants. Red Sox might as well since they already have translators there for some of their players. So if you are a Met fan would you rather have your team go after the 35 year old lefty from over sea's or the 42 year old Smoltz? Back to Phillie's news Lidge and Romero begin throwing. I read that so I am making you read it. Jamie Moyer says he will be ready for the first week. Redding signs with the Rockies and Winn signs with the Yankees. I am not that happy with Winn signing with the Yankees because he was always my go to FA snag in fantasy when I had someone go down. Now as a Yankee he won't be worth much because his playing time won't be very high i don't think.

Well have a wonderful Thirsty Thursday, I know I will.
