I keep thinking one of these days he is going to make a miraculous comeback and finally give us the All Star catcher that we need. Sure he has been out of baseball for 5 years or so, but it still COULD happen.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-4586576130224061692011-03-22T09:51:50.410-04:002011-03-22T09:51:50.410-04:00I'll alway remember former Dodger GM Fred Clai...I'll alway remember former Dodger GM Fred Claire blurting to the LA press prior to the 1993 amateur draft that the Dodgers, who had the second overall pick, would be happy with whoever was available to them between Darren Driefort and Alex Rodriguez after the Mariners made the first pick. <br /><br />In my opinion, the Mariners because more interested in A-Rod as a result since Claire was telling everyone he viewed him on par with Driefort talent-wise even though Darren was viewed as a can't miss prospect for years as a result of outstanding collegiate career at Wichita State and Alex was a relatively unknown entity at the time.steeleherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17413236126581293109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-12783806527091817372011-03-22T09:11:14.733-04:002011-03-22T09:11:14.733-04:00He would have been the next Koufax, the problem wa...He would have been the next Koufax, the problem was he threw with the wrong darned arm.LoCoDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684108978972556620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-32714310664989823892011-03-22T05:25:15.381-04:002011-03-22T05:25:15.381-04:00This sounds like the part of me that swears up and...This sounds like the part of me that swears up and down that Don Mattingly found his swing again in the last month of his career, and the part that cursed the Yankees for jettisoning Bernie Williams, who still had way more magic in his bat than some guy named Kevin Thompson did. The part that checks in on Dontrelle Willis all the time, and hung on his every pitch last season to see if he'd keep it together. Baseball has a way of making us foolish enough to believe, and sometimes, even if it's brief, it does pan out. <br /><br />I can remember a time a few years ago when a guy named Hamilton got a standing O for his first at-bat with the Reds, just for having the tenacity to make it to the majors after all of his struggles. Time will tell how that plays out over the rest of his career, but he's off to a pretty good start.<br /><br />I think it'd be remarkable, if slightly suicidal, if Dreifort came back.Scott Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471846477103927644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-79050305198690552972011-03-22T04:13:19.690-04:002011-03-22T04:13:19.690-04:00Never give up Night Owl.
