Free agent notes I found lying around on Twitter…
- Righty Chris Young should be ready for spring training following shoulder capsule surgery, his agent told MLB.com's Corey Brock.
- Aaron Rowand is looking for a big league job, tweets Danny Knobler of CBS Sports. The Phillies said no.
- Manny Ramirez is calling teams directly in his search for employment, tweets Bob Klapisch.
- Reliever Frank Francisco is likely to sign elsewhere in the wake of the Blue Jays acquiring Sergio Santos, GM Alex Anthopoulos told reporters today.
- Infielder Miguel Tejada hopes for a Major League deal, tweets Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun.
- More than a dozen scouts are expected to watch Joel Zumaya throw next week, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney. The Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, and Padres are among the team's that will be in attendance.
- Sidney Ponson has no intention of pitching again, writes MASNSports.com's Roch Kubatko. Currently, Ponson is contemplating whether to purchase a boat. I say go for it, big guy!
Ponson is on a boat!
Ponson is a boat
Sources are telling me that Ponson is NOT currently on a boat, but rather pursuing possible boats to be on.
to further clarify, Ponson is currently considering buying a lifesize cheese boat.
*gravy boat
With his flippy-floppys.
Damn school internet makes me miss opportunities like this…
thats Sir Sidney Ponson
Stick to the boat idea and sail away as far as possible Sidney.
What a coincidence. No team was intending to sign Ponson again.
Frank Francisco likely to sign elsewhere. SWOON.
Except for Oakland. We still remember the chair incident.
my interest in joel zumaya is irrational and invincible. sign that man
Still hitting 100 despite all the (sometimes freaky irrational) injuries?
so many stem cells
Someday he’s going to uncork a pitch and send the lower half of his arm at the head of one very startled batter
strike 3 looking. best pitch ever
POND SCUM!!!!
Who knew I had so much in common with Miguel Tejada! I too, would like a major league contract, and I too, am not good enough at baseball for that to happen.
but you’ve never won AL MVP
Boog Powell did. Same odds of winning another one as Tejada. Maybe he would like a major league contract.
For real, he better stop hoping and start praying.
Sidney Ponson is gonna need a bigger boat
Will said boat float with Ponson on it?
As a mets fan as bad as the situation is wouldnt mind bringing m.tejada in to man the SS position and i’ve been anxiously awaiting to see if meta sign Fransisco.
Sidney: Remember that a boat is nothing but a hole in the water into which you throw money…kinda like some the free agent deals that we’re hearing rumors about.
Hi My name is Manny, you may remember me from such great moments as Choking out the Travel guy, taking fertility drugs, growing the dirtiest set of dred locks ever seen?? No? Are you sure?…Hello?…..HELLLLLOOOOOOOOO anybody there?
Manny has Homer Simpson’s auto dialer.
What’re you that WEEI Whiner line guy? Doesn’t quite work in text.
I’d talk to Manny if I were a GM just so I could ask him directly to explain his positive tests, just for the stress relief. After I finished rolling on the floor, I’d get back to finding a bat that might actually help my team.
Ponson on Pontoons
Sidney, is a boat really wise? You had enough trouble with the jetski, are you sure you can handle something larger?
So many boat puns.
Sidney will never retire from punching judges and eating people.
arron rowand..get real
Aaron Rowand is looking for a big league job..The Phillies said no..Hahahaha. That was really funny to me for some reason.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
SF is on the hook for Rowand’s 2012 salary, which means the Phillies said NO to taking on Rowand at the major league minimum. Ouch…
Manny would have to pay someone to play
