Signed, Sealed, Delivered

The deals are done.

I'm happy with the Wood deal. He's the rare modern baseball player who feels guilt when he doesn't earn his money.

The Ramirez deal, not so much. Probably because I don't like his attitude. His numbers are great, but he seems to have a Sam-me-me attitude towards team play.

For over $14 million a year he better start running to first. I don't care if your hamstring is sore. I will enjoy seeing Piniella get up in his grill the first time he doesn't hustle though.

I just wonder if we wouldn't have been better off signing Nomar for a 1-year deal to play 3rd, which would have saved some budget for starting pitching, because we still need 2 front line starters.

We'll see. There are still plenty of holes to fill. I'd like 2 more bats and 2 front line starters, please.
