‘Tis the time of the year. Baseball players signing up with another unthinkable (to me anyway) amounts of money. USA today has awesome Baseball salaries database. Very cool. So, who is this Scott Boras dude, I hear his name a lot now. I know he is the bad guy who did A-Rod’s quoter billion dollar […]

Hey, awesome. I went to the ESPN.com (like I do everyday) and guess what I saw… Daisuke Matsuzaka’s story with big photo! Awesome. The story says the right-handed ace of Seibu Lions wants to come to the majors. So are Koji Uehara (Yomiuri Giants) and Kei Igawa (Hanshin Tigers).
