Hammer about to go down

MLB is prepared to ban Alex
Rodriguez for the remainder of his playing
career, reports Bob Nightengale of USA
Today . An announcement will likely come
tomorrow or Friday, according to
Nightengale's sources. Rodriguez's attorney,
David Cornwell, says that the Yankee third
baseman will appeal any suspension he
receives. According to the report, MLB will
base its action not only on Rodriguez's use
of PEDs, but on the fact that he purportedly
"lied to MLB officials while attempting to
sabotage their investigation."

I remember reading a book about AROD. The guy cheated throughout his entire life, especially high school. His dad is a rags to riches story but he was a dlck to his residences in the apartment properties who owned.

Oh yeah, I believed he ran with Canseco at one point too.

"Alberto Callaspo provides the A's with some infield depth and flexibility, as he can fill in at multiple positions. He is best at third base but capable of handling second or as an emergency backup at short while providing value as a right-handed bat off the bench. (He's a switch-hitter but better from the right side.)

The A's have used Adam Rosales in a similar role over the past year and a half, but he adds no value with the bat (other than his ability to trot quickly around the bases on his occasional home runs) and Callaspo is only a slight drop-off defensively. The A's may use Callaspo as a platoon partner for their left-handed-hitting second baseman Eric Sogard who's been able to hit right-handed pitching this year but has never hit southpaws in his big league career, which would shore up their weakest position on the diamond.

In exchange, the Angels get 2009 first-round pick Grant Green, one of the bigger enigmas among minor league prospects because he's too good of an athlete to be a man without a position.

Green has a quick, slashing stroke at the plate that produces line drives and doubles power, but his plate discipline has always been below average and he doesn't make enough contact for a guy who, outside of a year in the hitter-friendly Cal League in 2010, hasn't hit for power. He's an above-average runner but doesn't have great feel as a base stealer.

He was a shortstop in college at USC and has also played second, third, center and left in pro ball. He hasn't clicked at any of those positions and is probably best described as a bad defensive second baseman.

Green has the arm for the left side of the infield and his feet should be quick enough for any position, but his footwork was consistently terrible at short and not much better at second, so he'll need a lot of work for any position where the Angels try to play him. Third base might be worth a shot, as he's played only 11 games there as a pro and the position, now vacant in Anaheim, requires less of the lateral agility that the middle infield does.

For Callaspo, it's a reasonable return, but the Angels' player development folks have just been handed a big, high-profile project."

thanks
didnt really tell us anything that we don't know lol. was just curious to see who they thought got the better end of the deal
