No, not Frank Robinson, the other one, Russ Ortiz. Heather Gripp of the Daily News has a story about Ortiz trying to regain his form in winter ball in Puerto Rico.
I'll bet you dinner in the St. Louis barbecue joint of your choice (we have to meet in the middle, right?) that Russ Ortiz ends up pitching for the Natoinals next season.
Um I read in the SF Chron that the Giants were tossing around the idea as well. Could there actually be a bidding war for the services of Russ Ortiz? What has this world come to?
Sounds to me like he never lost his form...
He'd be the team's number 2!
Ortiz would have been a Frank Robinson guy because he had character. Manny Acta probably worries about results.
it could be worse .... it could be a multi-year contract
