  • Walt meets w/ Bret Boone

    From Crasnick on ESPN.com

    QUOTE
    Comeback story?
    Nov 9 - Bret Boone traveled to the general managers' meetings in Indian Wells, Calif., and had a sit-down Wednesday with St. Louis GM Walt Jocketty, ESPN.com Insider Jerry Crasnick reports. The Cardinals could have an opening at second base if they don't re-sign free agent Mark Grudzielanek.

    Boone, 36, made $9 million last year in Seattle. But he said he has no problems signing a contract for a low base salary with incentives. He has to prove himself again after hitting .221 with seven homers in 326 at-bats for the Mariners and Twins last season.

    "As far as teams and where I'm going, that's really the last thing on my mind," Boone told ESPN.com. "I'm in a situation where I've never been in my career. I'm just thinking about getting my mind, my swing and my body right to go out there and have the best year I can have." [/b][/quote]
    You're being fucking dramatic. You own a TV and an air mattress. That's not exactly what I'd call "a lot to lose."

      I love Boone. One of my favorite players in the last 10 years.

      I think it would be a huge mistake to bring him in. I hate Grudz, but Boone would be worse unless he's been on steroids.

          Apparently somewhere on FoxSports.com there is a story about how the Cardinals and Mets are prepared to make very competitive offers for AJ Burnett.

            At least his little bother didn't make it so damn obvious. Of course, if it weren't for that damn knee injury... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

              When I think of steroids, I think of Brian Giles and Bret Boone.

                I think of Eric Gagne.

                  I just can't like Boone. Something really rubbed me the wrong way during that big year he had. He just seemed waaaaaay too cocky and comfortable the way he would flip his bat after a home run. Just don't like him, steroids or not.
                  Of course you do.

                    Can he still play defense?

                    Pass.

                    I'd rather have Grudz or even go cheaper with Nunez and the savings for an OF or pitchers.
