Yeah, well, that’s kind of the way it goes. Always quick to judge but never around to admit they were wrong about ya.

It’s not easy admitting you were wrong. I don’t like doing it, but that’s one thing I remember int he handbook — being so far off on Bryan LaHair…

I really thought he’d turned a corner with the power and had turned into a league-average first baseman.

Instead, he’s a poor man’s Sean Casey’s bitch.

I also thought Felix would have had a great year by now.

But with people giving credit… I just have to live with that. Sometime the information I get isn’t whole, but usually it’s impossible to tell.

A few of my sources work in front offices, so at the very least I always know there is some truth to it.

With the Dickey thing, I heard it from one Asst GM early in the week, and then another later in the week, so I knew something was up. And the second guy is as unreliable as Ibanez is rangy.

Thanks for noticing, though. At least there’s one.

Don,

Other than those you mentioned, not really, no.

But the promotion will happen midway through, if not sooner, and you’ll probably get to see Triunfel this year, too.

For about four innings all we got was a name of who was in the game. No age, experience in the pros, where they played last year, how they did, or even where they probably will be playing in 2008. It started with Michael Saunders in about the second inning.

There were quite a few highly rated prospects who played in that game. Our TV announcers really were not ready with any meaningful information on them until the later innings when a copy of the information guide must has been found. Unimpressive.

I’ll have a much deeper analysis ready for download for the draft in May.

I think it’s about time some of us realize that you are connected and typically do get good information that the rest of don’t.

If I remember correctly this kind of started with the Adam Jones call up thing last summer.

Date you reported he was coming up: July 17

Date call up was announced: August 1

So you were two weeks off. Whoopty.

I know the Jim Slaton/pitching coach thing got a little dicey and I seem to remember you saying that your source was just mass confused and really shouldn’t have been so sure.

You were the first to report the five for one for Bedard, even when Ken Rosenthal at FOX had it as four and had Tui or Chen in the deal.

Just wanted you to know that some of us notice all the times you had the info, not just the few times you were off.

Like i talk about in the book, I think he’s the M’s starting second baseman in 2011.

Not sure about that bullpen, including C.J. Wilson closing. Is Eddie Guardado suddenly going to be good again? I don’t it. Wes Littlejohn? Pleeeeease.

If Hank Blalock makes a comeback that would help, but that’s a BIG if. And, the loss of Brandon McCarthy hurts big time. Millwood is the worse #1 starter in the league. A solid #3, but he’s wasted at #1. If he even stays healthy. Another big if.
