Sammy says "No Thanks" to the Nats
2006-02-15 16:28
by Bob Timmermann

Sammy Sosa rejected a contract offer from the Washington Nationals.

Sosa might play in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic, which is waiting until the last day to finalize its roster.

But Sammy might not even have a spot on that roster. The Dominican Republic could trot out this starting lineup (not in batting order)

1B - Albert Pujols
2B - Alfonso Soriano
SS - Miguel Tejada
3B - Adrian Beltre
LF - Manny Ramirez
CF - Willy Taveras
RF - Moises Alou
DH - David Ortiz
C - Miguel Olivo

(OK, catcher is really weak, but the US team has Matt Holliday around to play left field.)

That would be an interesting batting order too though.

It's Jim Tracy like.

With a lineup like that behind him, Sammy could pitch and it wouldn't hurt their chances.
