Tibs,
It appears our boy is popular. It also seems that many teams are willing to settle taking Wilma Couter out for a date rather than Gisselle Tiegs because of the cost involved.
(Absolutely no offense meant to anyone named Wilma Couter)! He certainly deserves what he is worth. He has proven time and time again his baseball talents and intangibles as well as his willingness to play through pain. He is, has always been and always will be a team player as well as a leader. That is worth something. His defense is superb even if he does not get the accolades that he should. Sure he is not a power hitter, he profiles as a contact, line drive hitter.
I loved his agent's special team working with him, coaching him, almost like getting him ready for a fight. Getting his mind right, trying to make him bloodthirsty.
You keep alluding to Moose and Davey wanting to call him for various reasons. At some point he is going to have deal with the elephant in the room and just talk to him. Even if he doesn't bring up the juice. It's possible that he is not on that stuff any longer, but I doubt it. If he is having the kind of success he is and has not been caught, he is going to continue on it until something gives. Like he gets caught, a major health scare like a heart attack or other issue, perhaps he ends up getting caught up into other drugs as a result of his success and his fame and heads down the wrong path. I just see some dark things ahead for him if he continues with steroids.
There are some things I would like to say about the upcoming chapter about the conversation between Davey and Theo Garner but I will hold off until after it comes out. I don't want to screw anything up if I am right about what's going to happen. Then again I probably have no clue what the hell I am talking about. LoL.
Going to patiently wait for the next chapter.
Have a Great Morning!
