Hmm, Adam Jones was taking grounders at SS today... :scratchchinhmm:

[scOtt]

Am I the only one here who is damn pissed after seeing the interviews with Eddie and Tex? Tex is almost a cool, well-adjusted, hitter/person?

I HATE not hating him!

You're not alone. He's a giant douchewagon.

[nevadaO]

Um... really?

Yep, really. It was a small blurb at the beginning of O's Extra. He actually didn't look that bad there in the 3 shots of him taking grounders.

They called it "extra fielding" but really, you don't just randomly take IF practice if you're the starting CF...

That's the WORST thing! He is and he ISN'T. He doesn't seem like a douche.

Wow!

I mean... if he could move to short, with his present level of hitting, and with his projected level of hitting.... I mean.....

Cal would be an afterthought if AJ could handle SS as well. I just don't see it.

I don't know. I guess I'm still bitter the way things went down.

Some people say that there is no way he would come here since we offered $50 million less. Obviously I can't blame him for that.

But was there a counter-offer from their side? Did he even express any interest in coming here at all? We'll probably never know but I can't help but despise him right now.

He also needs to learn more about Brooks Robinson before he talks about how great he was. He claimed he wasn't able to see him play "that often" when he was a kid because he was too young when Brooks retired 3 years before he was even born. Nitpicking? Maybe, but this was all about Brooks' event so...

Arrieta the 14th starter since 2009. Seems a bit extreme to me.

I do not know this man and have neve met him in my life. That being said, I am certain he is a giant douchebag.

extreme arrieta

[GotNitro]

Arrieta strikes out Tex four times in his major league debut. Every game has a defining moment.

[Hank Scorpio]

Man, I could use some good news.

Hopefully the kid does well.

The times I saw him pitch in Frederick, I thought Jake had ML Ace potential. Will he prove me right??? :scratchchinhmm:
