Rafael Palmeiro

Post by rickerbockerNFBC » Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:36 am

Palmeiro is thinking comeback at age 53. Should we have Greg and Tom add him to the player pool in the draft room?

It could happen...he looks good!

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Two things....

1. Has Palmeiro convinced even himself that fans want to see him in public, let alone on a baseball field?

2. It does prove that even with the wisdom of more years, Palmeiro still blows smoke up people's asses.

Odd that he would consider coming back when he’d almost certainly be kept to less than 40 HR in the current environment.

Piazza, Rodriguez and Bagwell in, Bonds and Clemens moving up in HOF voting....

Maybe Raffy sees an opportunity to restart the clock on his HOF chances.

Palmeiro was paid the ludicrous sum of $400,000 an hour for filming a Viagara commercial.
Stupid Vigara.
Dick Trickle would have been a match made in Heaven for them.

Palmeiro will be long remembered for finger wagging politicians.
Way ahead of his time.
Now young females are doing the same.

RotoWorld, even printing that blurb, puts in a microcosm, the snail's pace of (real) news this off season.
