In Other Washed Up Reliever News...

Mike "Hitaway" DeJean is reportedly close to signing with the Colorado Rockies.

Wait a minute. Hitaway in Coors Field?

Reminds me of some other bad ideas in baseball history:

• "Juan Samuel can play center field, no?"
• "Art Howe is available?"
• "Put $1000 on the Reds for me...Trust me, I'm their manager. It's a sure thing!"
• "Hey, during practice, can you get some footage of Kenny Rogers?"
• "Hey Mo Vaughn, want to come to IHOP with us?"
• "We're strapped for cash. Let's sell that fatso pitcher to the Yankees...that Ruth kid."
• "Trust me, baseball will be a big hit in Tampa Bay."
• "I can fix him in ten minutes."
• "That Reggie Jackson is overrated. I'm telling you, Steve Chilcott is going to be a star!"
• "Nah, leave Buckner at first for the tenth."
• "It would be so cool, if between games of our doubleheader, we let fans on the field to destroy disco records."
• "I can't tell this turf is artificial."
• "I heard this Komiyama is the Japanese Greg Maddux!"
• "Let's leave Gooden in to face Scioscia."
• "What if we pretended the Mets moved to the planet Mercury?"
• "That Nolan Ryan kid just ain't gonna make it in New York. Hey, Fregosi's available!"
• "Hey, let's interview Bonilla."

But this bad idea from outside of baseball tops 'em all:

• "I got it! Two words...Glow Puck!!!!!!!"
