    I would hope that McGehee and Braun did not have the same pharmacist. When you look at McGehee's minor league numbers it does make you scratch your head. But Veras was a very minor piece to trade.

    Red Sox have apparently signed Kelly Shoppach (a former Sox prospect):

    No surprise here. Rocker admits he used steroids.

    Prince Fielder is a really, really bad baserunner. I know this isn't a surprise, but when you look at the stats, it's breathtaking how bad he is.

    My favorite is in 2009, he went 1 for 45 going first-to-third on singles.

    You make it sound like he was thrown out at 3rd 44 times, which of course is not what you mean. There has to be a clearer way to express that.

    Sorry.

    He stopped at second or was thrown out on 44 out of 45 singles while he was on first base.

    So you're saying Prince is fat and can't run? We already knew that.
