That said, if those @%#*! beanheads didn't want him, stat probabilities aside, something has to be off. He smells like Sheff lite. . ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21659920.post-1165213501355497662006-12-03T22:25:00.000-08:002006-12-03T22:25:00.000-08:00He may sign with the Devil Rays, if they offer mor...He may sign with the Devil Rays, if they offer more money and more years. It's really up to what the Yankees want to do. If Cashman has no interest, then it is what it is. Good luck to the Rays.<BR/><BR/>Zuleta has a temper, but it mainly comes from guys throwing at him all the time. He's charged the mound like 6 times in his 4 years. The thing is guys are scared of him and they know they can get in his head by throwing at him. Usually, there's little real retaliation over here, so he's fair game.<BR/><BR/>In the States, the pitcher would get tossed lightning quick, or there would be an all out brawl. It's a different world. I wouldn't say that he's a particularly bad clubhouse guy. He's not the type to join a winning club and start sniping at guys and calling them out in the media. He especially won't do it in the Majors, where he'd be lucky just to have a job in the end.<BR/><BR/>Hillenbrand is a Grade A jackass, and I hope Cash chooses Wilson over him, if Zuleta is a no go.Mike Plughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180838171989998353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21659920.post-1165206255605188442006-12-03T20:24:00.000-08:002006-12-03T20:24:00.000-08:00Jim Baumbach's of Newsday says Zuleta's has attitu...Jim Baumbach's of Newsday says Zuleta's has attitude problem same as Hillenbrand . Also He says Zuleta will sign with Drays.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Julio Zuleta is a questionable option for the Yankees, at best. He began the offseason looking for a multiyear deal from the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks, his team in Japan for four years. But they didn't want him back and intentionally lowballed him, offering him the same contract terms as his last deal, one year at $3 million. It was a deal they knew he would decline. Also, this guy received a 10-game suspension last season for charging the mound, initiating an ugly scene that caused his manager, the respected Sadaharu Oh, to apologize afterward. Only a guess: I bet he signs with the Devil Rays.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>source - http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/blog/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21659920.post-1165198696457796852006-12-03T18:18:00.000-08:002006-12-03T18:18:00.000-08:00I'll fix both of these.
