Former Braves and Angels pitcher Tommy Hanson dead at 29. Was in a coma after suffering catastrophic organ failure on Sunday.

Jason Kendall up for the HoF vote. I...what? Just don't see it.

It just seems weird that his name gets mentioned in the reporting. A buddy of mine told me.

@Orlando Penguin gonna have to learn the Korean word for strikeout.
I prefer the pronunciation 'home reon'. Hopefully this guy doesn't end up like Nishikori. THAT signing helped send this team into its death spiral that they're now working their way out of.

Jason Kendall was an overpaid, light hitting, d-bag, but you don't get almost 2200 career hits and have the fifth most games behind home plate in the history of baseball without being pretty damn good. He's not hall of fame worthy, but the dude could play ball.

We should all thank McClendon and Cam Bonifay for deciding in 2001 to make Kendall play through a thumb injury rather than DL him in a lost season. Kendall's power was gone after that season and never came back.
One of the few things Littlefield got right was he unloaded Kendall right before he went off a cliff. Don't ask what he got in return for him.

Rhodes was flipped for Lawton, who was flipped for Jody Gerut and his giant knee brace because Littlefield loved "major league ready" guys and guys who were hurt.This gentleman thought it was arthur rhodes and matt law dog lawton. But it wasn't. It was arthur rhodes and mark redman.

Part of me thinks there will be a labor fight, because 21 years is a long time for bad blood to build up.

Outside of overhauling the service time structure, I don't see how to achieve a better revenue split. Unless they start sharing more of the TV money, that higher share of revenue going to the teams has to do with big money teams not having any players to spend money on.
So what will probably happen is that they'll develop a structure that re institutes the flow of talented young players from the small and mid market teams to the cash rich big market ones. Unless they decide that they should share more regional TV money so that more teams can spend more money....but that's communist and will stop big market teams from generating money.

Ortiz to retire after this next season.
I think behind Ted Williams, he'll go down as the second most beloved Red Sock all-time. He was the face of 3 WS wins, something neither Yaz nor Fisk could do

I was hoping he'd come back for one more year and have a nice retirement tour.

slightly off topic, but what's the correct singular version of red sox? is it red sock? simply "he was a red sox?" I don't actually know. I'm inclined to think the latter as sox isn't really plural, is it?
