that's what you think

when you get a call from a Japanese baseball blog wanting to pay you a million dollars, don’t look my way

Sorry....a million isn't enough for that.....

I did notice we were linked to by a Japanese site with a very unfortunate name, wangfans earlier this week.

the man

definitely has a future in writing if not in baseball.

Speaking of, Dirk put together a very nice season last year in the Pacific Coast League, which is a ridiculously hard league to pitch in. Excellent K rate (> 1 batter/inning) and limited the walks and HRs. I know he will be 28 this season, but it would not surprise me to see him sneak into the bullpen and become a mainstay a la Carlson if he gets the chance to do so.
