Meh there's a lot of people you could complain about being douches. I don't pay much attention to the tabloids so I am quite ignorant on his personal life.

You've seen him though and heard him talk right? Whatever, it doesn't even matter if you don't dislike the guy.

Back to the Upton/Prado deal. It's good Zona signed him to 4 years. That makes the trade much more even now. Braves still win if Upton reaches his potential. That's obviously a question mark at this point however.

I've heard an interview here and there, just sounds like your typical former star that doesn't wanna think his skills are dwindling as much as they are. There's a lot worse out there. Like PIERZYNSKI. And OZZIE GUILLEN. And HAWK HARRELSON. Especially HAWK.

Wait, nvm. Just fuck the whole White Sox franchise on the whole and anyone once associated with them. Twins too. I'd say Kansas City as well but that's just been a mess. And the Indians play in Clolevland, they can't have nice things anyways.

EDIT: Nelson Cruz too. Still angry over that ALCS.

Not a Pierzynski fan either and I'm not a fan of Texas signing him. If he hits 30 HR (he won't) then I'll be ok with him this season.

Yeah chances of him doing that for another fluke season are slim to none. He will be in a hitters park though and he is quite tough to strike out as far as I remember. If you get half of his HR totals I'd say that is a solid deal.

He is a lefty and that park loves lefties, so there is that.

His K rate was up last season, but that's expected when your HR's go up. But yeah, he doesn't K much, but he also doesn't walk much either. You can do worse at catcher for sure. Texas got nothing from C last year at all. Rangers catchers couldn't even throw anyone out either. It's a definite weakness.
