Welcome back Mark!
So, amidst all the angst about Johnny Damon going over to the dark side, there is one bit of good news in MLB-land - at least from my perspective. Yesterday, former Red Sox second baseman, Mark Bellhorn, signed a one-year $800,000 deal with the San Diego Padres, where he will most likely be their starting 2nd baseman! Yeah Mark! He'll join former RS teammates Doug Mirabelli and Dave Roberts; and there is the potential for David Wells to join them as well.
There is a theory about Bellhorn - the so-called "alternate year theory." This theory posits that Bellhorn seems to perform best in alternate years. He had a then-career year with the Cubs in 2002; and we all know how he performed in 2004! The odd-numbered years seem to be his downfall - 2003 and 2005 were the pits! So, if this theory holds, 2006 could prove to be another awesome year for "the Bell."
Selfishly, this is fantastic news for me. The Scenic City is just 120 miles from Atlanta - and the Padres are due in there the second week in April!!
