What can ya tell me bout Rocco Baldelli? I guess he's our new CF, though I'd rather see him in LF with Jacoby in center.

good god im late man...um...guy has huge potential IF he stays healthy...great plate discipline decent power and a great defensive fielder...love the guy

Hmm....not sure where he's gonna play though. Bay in LF, Jacoby in CF and Drew in RF.

hes no full timer...platoon is their best bet with him...he can only play every other day due to his disease

Ahh...wasn't aware of that. Guess if he's cool with it, it won't be a problem and will be beneficial to the team.

from what i undestand they arent paying him much either...plus he should quickly become a favorite..he is a Rhode Island boy

[shinner]

Yep, he's only getting half a million in base salary....but a bump of 1.75 million if he stays active all year....and some other performance bonuses too I think.

Oh, and he's wearing Nomahhh's old number (5).
