Couldn't believe that the Dodgers actually signed him, he's been on the decline for 2 yrs prior to this. Might as well just put up 2 strikes on the board as he walks up to the plate, would save a lot of time. They need to stop signing Brave outfielders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-69476262883863820772008-05-05T13:36:00.000-04:002008-05-05T13:36:00.000-04:00Easy with the Halladay comments.
