Mail: Hank Blalock

It seems as though Hank Blalock's time in Texas has come to an end. Over the past 7 seasons he has been pretty reliable at third base for the Rangers. He hit over 150 home runs and drove in over 500 runs. However, Hank's contract is up and I don't see the Rangers resigning him for 2010. Hopefully he'll find a new home and be able to put up All-Star numbers again like he did in 2003 and 2004.

Mail: Dusty Baker

Our next card is of baseball legend, Dusty Baker. Dusty has done it all in his career. During his playing days he was a 2x All-Star, a World Series champion, and the 1977 NLCS MVP. As a coach he has led the San Francisco Giants, the Chicago Cubs, and currently the Cincinnati Reds. He's even managed to win three NL Manager of the Year awards.

Mail: Brendan Harris

I remember when Brendan Harris was the big Chicago Cubs prospect. I was glad to be able to have him sign a few cards for me one Spring Training. Now Brendan is with his fifth organization and is a utility infielder for the Minnesota Twins.

Mail: Ned Yost

I always liked Ned Yost. He did a pretty good job managing the Milwaukee Brewers. I understand why the let him ago but he did help turn around a dismal franchise. Hopefully he'll get another chance somewhere soon.
