Yahoo! Sports: MLB - Look who's in camp -- El Sid and Deion show up
Sid Fernandez always seemed to me to have left the game before his time, so I'll be pulling for him. I doubt he'll make it too long in training camp, but it would be a great story if he made the team. There are always guys like this, Jim Palmer, Dave Stieb, Steve Trout, etc., who want to come back, but never make it very far. Of course, Stieb pitched pretty well in the minor if I remember correctly.
The Steve Rain fiasco is just dumb. Chris Kahrl won't be pleased. I realize that he has a job to do and being an NRI he shouldn't flaunt the rules, but this is a bit asinine on the Royals part. Fine the guy if you have to, but releasing him before even puts on his jersey just tells me that you are petty, not disciplined.
If you are worried about him showing up on time, lie to him and tell him to be there at 8:00 not 10:00. That is what we have to to to get my wife's extended family anywhere on time.
Also, what I said above about pulling for El Sid does not apply to Deion Sanders.
