Niiiiiiiice!

The smile alone is worth a cool $2 Mil.

The game ball. Thanks. Roger. I'll put this with my collection of personal achievements. I mean, not right next to the good shit, but still.

One takeaway from this is seeming confirmation from Buck that Vlad is batting 4th.

Although that wasn’t on Jeff Z’s write up. Roch Kubatko has a little more:

This exchange is hilarious.

And finally, here’s Showalter talking about where he’ll bat Guerrero:
 
“Let me talk to Vladi first. We just got the ink wet. No, he’s going to hit third or fourth. He’s obviously capable of handling both roles. With some of the other additions we have, we’ll make it all mesh. But I’m probably leaning a little bit more toward four right now, but we’ll wait and see how it develops.

Showalter: "What do you think?

Guerrero: “Four.”

Showalter: “Tell you what, after a lot of consideration, he’ll hit in the four hole.”

Hope he does as usual, it sure would be nice to have hoim bat over .300 again and knock in over 100 runs, 30 home runs. See what happens, if Baltimore keeps him for 2-3 years I just have a feeling that the team will come together, pitching especially.

Vlad made the mistake...

Note to Bench Coach:

Do not let Mark Reynolds and Vladimir Guerrero sit near one another.

Also don't let them sit near Adam Jones.

During the video,

Vlad puts on a glove and starts playing catch.

What was that all about? Is there some charity thing he’s going to do?

Though I'm not a huge fan of the signing,

I just set that as my desktop. Maybe it’s the bourbon, and maybe it’s because he looks THAT GOOD in orange and black.

It could be worse. You could be dead. Or you could be alive and counting on Nolan Reimold.

You are a brave man,

I could imagine looking at Cesar Izturis in February

If you look at those UZR ratings or whatever
