Gordo Live Dec 31, 2007

jrocke217: hey jeff
i have recently heard a rumor of the cardinals being close to signing matt clement. is there any truth to the rumor? also read that he would like to stay in the midwest are if he plays anywhere. also have the cardinals lost interest in kris benson?
thanks

Jeff Gordon: The Clement thing could happen. The Cards haven't been as prominent in the Benson chase, which is too bad. If he is still married to Anna, Tipsheet would have enjoyed her quite a bit.


for all that don't know here's kris benson's wife: http://www.annabenson.net/gallery.php

jrocke217: with the whole open hole in center field. i know we have colby rasmus & rick ankiel scheduled to fight for the position, but i don't think rasmus is quite ready yet & ankiel is still shaky. how bout a run at kenny lofton for a 1 year deal to give rasmus a year at memphis?

Jeff Gordon: Skip Schumaker provides ample defensive insurance. Lofton could help the offensive equation a bit, but I don't know if he can do much at the top of the batting order at his age.

jrocke217: hey jeff,
do you & bernie get to vote for the hall of fame? if you do, where do you stand when it comes to mark mcgwire?
thanks

Jeff Gordon: I don't have a vote. As for Bernie, this dilemma is great column fodder. Personally, I don't think you can write off Big Mac just for the 'roids suspicion. How do you sort the cheaters from the clean players? Beyond that, though, is the question of Marks' credentials. Homers aside, is not a Hall of Famer. And at the very least, you discount the homer total as a product of a homer-happy era.

I don't see Big Mac as a Hall of Famer because of that.
-----------------------------------------------------------
jrocke217: so how soon should i pull the ol' jeff weaver jersey out from a couple years ago & dust it off?

Jeff Gordon: Well, he IS still out there. And is there another team that would even take a look at him?

jrocke217 says: thanks again jeff for answering my questions & no, nobody is checking out jeff weaver....i would figure it has something to do with his horrible kip wells like season last year & his agent scott boras jacking his price tag up last winter/spring.
