Los rósters de los equipos de Grandes Ligas han comenzado a cambiar su fisonomía. Cada vez habrá menos veteranos y más jóvenes entre los 40 de la lista de activos. Dos buenos ejemplos son los Yankees y los Medias Rojas de este año.
Esos dos equipos tienen una excelente base de jóvenes, encabezados en Boston por el
José Canseco sabe que algunas personas no lo quieren muy bien que se diga. Y no se trata de los bigleaguers mencionados por él en sus exitosos libros Juiced y Vinicated, sino de ciertos fanáticos.
Es lógico que haya personas definitivamente al lado de quienes han aparecido en las historrias de José, porque hay grandes nombres involucrados.
Y Canseco entiende que debe tolerar la oposición de esa gente, que sin embargo, es injusta, porque lo que él ha hecho es contar lo ocurrido, sin acusar a nadie de nada, a excepción de Bud Selig,
La portada es toda en rojo, y en medio hay una vieja pelota de beisbol en la cual está clavada una inyectadora. El título, "Vindicated", aparece en letras pequeñitas y negras sobre esa pelota. Y más abajo se lee...: "Grandes nombres, grandes mentirosos y la batalla por salvar al beisbol". Por supuesto, arriba aparece el nombre

Pedí a dos compañeros en dos ciudades diferentes de Venezuela, preguntar a varios jovencitos que van este verano a las Academias de beisbol de allá, y y a otros que vendrán a Estados Unidos para las Ligas de Novatos, acerca de sus sueños, sus deseos, como peloteros.
¡Asombroso!, Ninguno dijo que deseaba terminar
Entrevistaron a 22 muchachos, y hubo respuestas
La paciencia asiática, la dedicación en todo cuanto intentan, la disciplina tradicional de grupo, sus mil 300 millones de habitantes, su cultura deportiva milenaria y la furia por el beisbol desatada en los últimos meses, hacen prever un futuro de las Grandes Ligas y de las ligas menores, con rósters llenos de jugadores procedentes de China.

Los Mets retornan a su posición de favoritos, por lo menos en el este de la Liga Nacional, después que Pedro Martínez dijo estar preparado para lanzar ya en exhibición, y después que de los 17 lesionados o convalecientes de lesiones, solo dos, el nativo de Atlanta Moisés Alou, quien sufre de hernia, y el llamado duque cubano, Orlando Hernández, con callos en los pies, siguen alejados de las actividades primaverales.
El otro de los Mets que quedaba fuera de acción era el
El optimismo de los Phillies se llama Jimmy Rollins. El shortstop y cuarto bate de los philadelphianos predijo el año pasado que ellos serían el equipo a vencer, y la debacle de los Mets en septiembre les dio la razón. Aun cuando después los
"El año pasado sufrimos muchas lesiones de los jugadores claves, y sin embargo ganamos el título de la División. Este año podemos ganar cien juegos en la temporada y 11 más en la pos-temporada".

Es que 17 de ese róster están lesionados, o provienen de operaciones o lesiones de 2007. Y entre esos, siete son regulares o figuran entre los principales lanzadores.
