Boras probably guaranteed he’d play in Detroit, which never happened. Sori’s pissed. He went from Fielder, Verlander and Triple Crown to, well…Not only that Detroit has a ton of Latin players which makes Tigers even more desirable for said ethnicity.

Ok, let me hear the WS sweep jokes, comments, clowns, cause I know they comin’.

Not even sure this qualifies as a distraction really…

Craig if YOU were batman you would make sure that everyone knew by saying “HEY! I’M BATMAN MOTHERFUCKERS!”

Visa issues – yeah right, he must have a MasterCard or American Express by now. Worst excuse ever. He could build himself a flying carpet of dollar bills if it came to that.

Thats why I carry MasterCard.

I tried for a Karl Malden/AM EX joke….got too wordy. But that clearly was a better angle

Occam’s razor only says that he’s a superhero with a secret identity. Not that he’s Batman. And if we’re going by his previous job, he couldn’t be Batman. That would be Mariano. Unless Soriano is one of those Batmen of many nations.

(Totally unrelated: just read that Posanski is joining NBC Sports/Yahoo Sports. I wonder if that will impact HBT in any way.)

Scott Boras says Rafael Soriano should be in Nats’ camp “soon” after visa issue is worked out.

LOL. Second sign of spring. “Visa issues.”

Distractions? All I saw was Gio addressed the BioGensesis clinic (and why wouldn’t he?) and this. This is the first “distraction”.

Alright Nats. Way to lay low and not draw attention to yourselves. Two days into Spring Training and the World Series contenders are piling up distractions right and left. Hope this isn’t a harbinger of things to come. I was really looking forward to this year for the Nats. It would be a shame to shoot themselves in the foot before the season began. Oh wait, that’s the Red Sox.
