Jose Lima, not a Padre

An earlier story (in Spanish) said that Jose Lima was signing with the Padres after turning down an offer from a Japanese team.

As Lee Corso says, "Not so fast my friend."

The Kansas City Star reports that San Diego GM Kevin Towers says no such deal exists and finds the idea laughable.

And e-mailer Gary Garland from Japan says that Lima didn't get any offers from a Japanese team either.

I read the title of this post to the tune of Adam Sandler's Happy Hannakuh.

Fearless prediction: in 2006, Jose Lima will win more games than Odalis Perez.
