Or even 10 HR's.

Just took a big fantasy dip IMO...american league with DH he would have been a great C in 06.

Onethingabout Piazzais that he is a true baseballplayer.
he wants to beinit,hewantstoplay and he wants to leave a legacy.

The guy does not want to ride a bench and see other people play instead of him.

IMO he stilll has a sandlot kid in him and will do everything he can to prove himself.

best of luck to the guy.

He will always be a class act in my eyes and hope he surprises many by getting 25 homers.

Hall of fame guy making best of the twighlight.

Financially, it was either Miguel Olivo and Mark Loretta in the starting lineup next season or Mike Piazza/Doug Mirabelli and Josh Barfield in the starting lineup next season. I like option B a more.

The article on the mlb.com front page reads like this:

"Packing a Hall of Fame-worthy bat along with some well-worn tools of ignorance, Mike Piazza is returning to Southern California, where his career began. The Padres and the 12-time All-Star catcher agreed on Sunday to a one-year, $2 million contract."

Yet when you click the link to read the full story, ignorance is replaced with intelligence. Does someone at mlb.com hate Piazza? :-?

Wow, don't forget to start anyone that has two working legs against San Dieg now... The value of base-stealers in the NL West just increased. Oh yea.
