Ken Keutzer: I am curious as to how good Coldby Rasmus is supposed to be. Rick Ankiel & Ryan Ludwick had very solid years both offensively & defensively. Is he supposed to be better than either of them?

Jeff Gordon: Different, but in the same category, Fewer homers, better D, more stolen bases.

grwlvster: Hi Joe,
Do you think our new GM is in over his head? Thanks

Jeff Gordon: No.

Matt: Congrats to Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice! I don't want to rain on Rickey's parade.. and I don't have any reason to think he shouldn't be in the hall of fame, but why hasn't there been speculation as to whether or not he did steroids? The guy played until he was 45 or 46 and all the while was a brick house. He did play on the same team as Mac and Canseco for a number of years.. Mac is being persecuted for his perceived guilt, but yet not a peep from the media who is doing this to him about Rickey. Your thoughts?

Jeff Gordon: If Rice gets in, why not Dawson? To me, he was a better player.

therealdealankiel: Will agents even consider letting their guy sign a two year deal right now?

It seems they would rather go Jeff Weaver/Kyle Lohse and take a one year gamble.

Jeff Gordon: Some guys will be left standing when the music stops, so they will have to take short money and hope for better days.

BluesCardsTigers: Is Petro a concern for JD? He couldnt get very good ice time at the WJ's... And the Blues seem to play well for a few games and then fall off again. What do you think is more likely: The Blues put things together and play well the rest of the season and get close to making playoffs, or they put up the white flag soon and play for Tavares?

Jeff Gordon: They won't "play for Tavares" with Murray coaching.
