A-Rod eyeing Boston
Canseco did mention that his name would be mentioned in his next book... and how wrong has he been so far???
It, is sound to me that a rich ballplayer will be without a job come next spring, unless the devil rays sign him. lol
Not many people did when his book with all the steroid usage allegations came out, but in the end, he had the most accurate depiction.

Who thought Rafael Palmero was using steroids? No one. Jose Canseco brought his name out and was chastised by everyone. Palmero lied in front of the U.S. Senate or Congress. Canseco sat back with a little smile on his face. He has a big smile on his face now. He mentioned the Giambi Brothers, Maguire, and others. Everyone called him a lier. MLB will come out with the names of steroid abusers and hgh abusers shortly, than another book by Canseco. Canseco will be laughing all the way to the bank. DO NOT be suprised if A-Rods name appears on the list. There will be all sorts of denials coming from all the players. As far as I'm concerned everyone is guilty until proven otherwise.
I don't know why the Mets would want him. They have a Gold Glove third baseman and most exciting player in the game at short stop. What do the Mets do, move one of these players to another position for some overpriced egomaniac? I think they would be better off consentrating on their pitching.
They could try what they did with Matsui. Move Reyes to second and A-Rod back to short. I hope not.

OLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Alex Rodriguez a Mud Hen?
Spurred by an offhand remark from George Steinbrenner's son, the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens want in on the A-Rod sweepstakes.
The Mud Hens playfully offered the prize free agent a deal Thursday - a contract proposal that includes a bonus for hitting 75 home runs next year and leading them to 10 straight International League titles.
Rodriguez recently opted out of his $252 million, 10-year contract with the New York Yankees. That prompted Hank Steinbrenner, son of the Yankees owner, to tell the New York Times: "Does he want to go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee, or a Toledo Mud Hen?"
The Mud Hens conjured up an offer to find out, said Jason Griffin, a spokesman for the Detroit Tigers' top farm team.
Toledo created a Hall of Fame plaque of Rodriguez wearing a Mud Hens hat and sent a letter to his agent, Scott Boras.
The deal stipulates that Rodriguez will have to compete for a spot with Toledo third basemen Mike Hessman, the league's most valuable player last season.
"Would your client be willing to play a different position?" the letter asked.

semantics
He's barely the third best shortstop in his DIVISION!
Just couldn't let that statement go by.
I'd completely agree the Mets would be better off going after pitching, but you think Reyes is the most exciting player in the game? He almost singlehandedly lost the division by himself - a complete no-show at th end.

What I've read/heard...
...is Wright going to 2nd base. That's a ridiculous infield!
Wouldn't it be amazing for MeRod to go to the Mets and becomes a lovable player for them*?
*haven't had my coffee yet.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! NO TO A-ROD GOING TO THE METS OR SOX OR MARLINS*!!!!!!
*Yes, I know...it's a little far-fetched...but you should hear the talks here in Miami...of course, the Cuban Mafia is only talking what the chicken eats!!!!

The Mets don't need another empty bat. They already have 2 in Delgado and Beltran.
They need to fumigate their clubhouse of all the old players they've acquired and get some pitching.
And since the Marlins are shopping Dontrell Willis, hes' the guy they need to go after. Not any more old pitchers who have no velocity left in their arms.
A-Rod will probably go to Anaheim, so that Scott Boras can watch him every day from his luxury suite. And if this team thinks he's going to help get them a ring, dream on Angels.
