Ward-ing Off Strange Rumors

The latest trade rumor out of Mets-land has the Flushing base baseball orgainization trading for Pirates first baseman Daryle Ward.

Rule of thumb: if you're interested in a player, and you notice that not only is the player slightly overweight, slightly inept in the field, and despite being a fairly anonymous major leaguer has a website dedicated to his shortcomings, it's probably not a good idea to pursue him.

Think Mo Vaughn-lite...or maybe Mo Vaughn-less heavy.
