[...] him on my fantasy team that year. However, this is not fantasy baseball circa 2006. Recently, it was uncovered that he was on steroids for that season, and has been nothing like it since. Not much more to mention here. Just a terrible trade by [...]

So do his home/road splits, to an extent.

Although he did have a good year no matter how you slice it.

In about two years, maybe next year even, we’ll be wondering who the 35-year old, $10 million guy sitting on the Angels bench is.

Cheapens the cycle he hit at Comerica Park last season… funny, Matt Stairs was 2 locker over and despite him homering, he turned his back on he media thronged around Matthew’s locker…. literally 2-days later, Stairs was cut and the Tigers would pick up him up…

Stairs was a solid fit for Tigers in September… he’d have been a big help in the World Series but he came over after the deadline of 8/31 so he wasn’t eligible for postseason play despite nearly winning the division for the Tigers with a late inning homer in Detroit’s final game of the season against KC – an extra innings loss that gave the Twins the division…

I digress… Matthews doesn’t surprise me and neither does Clemens at his age and with all the problems he’s had in the past – if he peels over and dies in his 50′s, nobody should be “shocked”.
