In a report for SI.com, Jon Heyman makes a list of the previous year’s winners and ‘non-winners’.
Among the winners he lists Jimmy Rollins, Tom Glavine, Luis Castillo and Pedro Martinez, of whom he writes…
“Returned sooner and better than anyone expected after serious shoulder surgery, garnering his 3,000th strikeout, providing the Mets a rare late-season bright spot and giving them a continuing excuse not to try harder to land the young ace they so desperately need.”
Among the non-winners he lists the Mets and Omar Minaya, of whom he writes…
“Likeable exec who made nary a misstep in 2006 erred last winter by trading away Heath Bell, Brian Bannister and Matt Lindstrom. Spent this winter failing to land a No. 1 pitcher, an almost annual rite.”
…i guess he’s against calling people ‘losers’…there’s clearly not much going on right now as even heyman is resorting to lazy lists about last year…i did enjoy his dig on eckstein and a few other comments, but i’m ready to move on and look forward to spring training…
