"But shortstop is the infield position Martin actually thinks he can play best. He grew up in Montreal idolizing Ozzie Smith and, during batting practice the past two seasons, he would oftten take ground balls at short along with Derek Jeter and the other Yankees infielders.
“It’s my most natural position,” Martin said.

I believe Maddon had to bench Upton a few times just to get him to play with more motivation so yes, he's definitely going to be a complete bust now that he's getting paid.

Well Ernie Whitt's been confirmed as the manager for Team Canada. I love Ernie but he isn't the brightest bulb in the box and might actually let that happen.

I could see the Phillies answering back with Hamilton.

I really don't think the Philly market would be good for a guy that fell off the wagon twice in varying degrees. If he struggles at some point especially early on the fans in that city will eat him alive.

Oh you are right, this New York and Boston are probably the worst places for him to go to and that is why i predicted him going to the Brewers. I was just saying that i could see the Phillies giving Hamilton the money and years he wants.

I still have absolutely no idea what happens with Hambone, but I doubt it's Philly and let's just stop with the Milwaukee nonsense lol.
