#1) I’ve been doing some research on sports agents, and came across this: Billy Wagner and Francisco Cordero are represented by a former pitcher in the Braves’ organization named,  “Bean Stringfellow.” That cracks me up…

#2)  Carlos Delgado was quoted in The Seattle Times  as saying, "There's no such thing as a right-field porch at Safeco Field. It's not exactly a porch."

Oh yeah, Carlos? Check this out…

Visiting team HR leaders @ Safeco Field

NAME	HR @ Safeco
Rafael Palmeiro	16
Eric Chavez	13
Manny Ramirez	9
Garret Anderson	8
Alex Rodriguez	8
Carlos Lee	8
Brad Fullmer	7
Jason Giambi	7
Five (including Delgado) tied w/	6

Do you notice anything interesting about that list? That’s right…8 out of those 13 players bat from the left side of the plate. And, in case you weren’t sure…Rafael Palmeiro is a MARINER KILLER! On a side note, can someone please tell me why Brad Fullmer is still a free agent?

Also – ESPN changed their MLB stats page a little bit, and something that really bugs me is when you look at the 2004 stats, it has each player’s 2005 team listed next to his name. I hope they change this, because it’s horribly misleading.
