• Baseball Reality Bites: Broward County Edition

  • Remember how those clowns in Broward County decided to throw money at the Baltimore Orioles for their stupid spring training site instead of investing those resources in a Marlins ballpark? Well, the Orioles are about to flip Broward off on their way up to Vero Beach.

    Two Fort Lauderdale city commissioners suspect the Baltimore Orioles may abandon plans to overhaul Fort Lauderdale Stadium in favor of moving to Dodgertown in Vero Beach.

    A source told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Thursday the team has an option agreement with Indian River County to move to Dodgertown, once the Los Angeles Dodgers move to Arizona, expected in 2009 or 2010.

    Now, I know $40 Million is not the same as $400 Million, but Broward’s weird decision to spend so much on 30 days of spring training made no sense when you consider that a 30-year 81-day partner was looking for a deal.

  • Fish Add a Tall Pitcher

  • Now that we know that Anibal Sanchez will not be ready for Spring Training, the Marlins signed 6-9 left-handed pitcher Mark Hendrickson to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million. He is a mediocre 43-59 in 179 career games with a 5.01 ERA. But, he’s started more than 30 games three times in his career, so he may be a good innings eater.

    Update: Hendrickson used to play in the NBA.
