The Baseball World According to Jon Paul Morosi
ByJon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com wrote an article Ten questions to be answered by Opening Day. I’ll save the article for your reading pleasure, but here are a few highlight:
- Morosi thinks that Johnny Damon may end up with the Yankees since the Tigers don’t want to pay him what he’s asking for (two years, $19-20 million).
- The Dodgers are handcuffed because of the Frank McCourt divorce.
- Joel Pineiro may have to decide on the no money Dodgers or the no credibility Mets (based on their shenanigans regarding Carlos Beltran).
- The Tim Lincecum arbitration case will one of the closely watched arbitration cases in recent memory.
- There’s a surplus of free agent hitters (Russell Branyan, Hank Blalock, Jim Thome, Johnny Gomes, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield and Marcus Thames) and a surplus of teams needing full-time designated hitters (Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City, Seattle and Toronto).
- The Cubs are looking for another starter since Ted Lilly won’t be ready for the beginning of the season.
