The Official Last RBI'er Standing Puhl Thread

[WeatherMatt]

Now that it's looking more and more like Clemens will play for someone this season, the question of last man standing can be re-opened.

I think Clemens will outlast Franco. Roger can pitch for anyone until his arm falls off or his skills go down the toilet, which hasn't happened yet. Not to mention that he's retired about 270 times and still come back. Basically, as long as he still has it, some team will want him to pitch.

Franco, on the other hand, I don't think will last too much longer. I know he says he wants to play until he's 50, but how long can he stick around as a backup while still getting older by the day? I can't imagine many teams would have an interest in him much longer.

Franco will play more innings than Clemens this year.

Franco's in better shape.

Franco has a 2 year contract also and has already said he wants to play after the contract is done.

Julio Franco refuses to go away, and I doubt he ever will...

Don't count out Benito Santiago...

[GDavis]

Julio has a 2 year contract with the Mets.  If Clemens struggles this year I think he's done.  My vote goes to Julio.

Matt Nokes

we need a WATN on this guy - anybody know what he is up to?

[Gantry]

Potsie saw him playing/coaching in a minor league game a few years back.  Think it was the Schaumburg Flyers, but he's probably left since then...

This has nothing to do with what Matt Nokes is doing now, but if you type Matt Nokes draft into Google, a Dee-nee link pops up 9th on the list.  Yes, it is regarding Rack's selection.

[Gantry]

This is further proof that Google knows what they are doing.  It's so monumentally (is that a word?) a bad pick that the folks at the world's most important internet site deemed it worthy of mentioning over thousands of sites that covered Nokes' 11-year MLB career...
