Hear is what the signing represents:

1: Mark Shapiro does not want anything to do with playing young talent. Even if a veteran only has the upside of "below average" like Nixon.

2: You can kiss Jake Westbrook good-bye in 07. You can kiss both Sabathia and Hafner good-bye in 08. Shapiro has gone out and brought in any and every "has been" or injured vet on the market. He is praying that they find their youth again and we win before we rebuild all over.

3: Shin-Soo Choo: He is an athlete. He can steal a base. He can cover ground in RF. He has a great arm. He hit .280 as a rookie and destroyed RH pitching. HE EARNED A 07 ROSTER SPOT.

We are perhaps the worst run team in MLB. Nixon, Fultz, Dellucci, blah blah blah all suck. We should promote our young players to support of core of great players.

The signing of Nixon is a joke. I would demand a trade if I were Choo.
