-> Am willing to give the guy a chance, although personality-wise, he fits in
-> with some of the locals a bit too well.  I saw him play middle relief in the
-> Tigers/Indians game I attended last summer, and he wasn't notable at all.

I saw Rocker pitch with the Indians here in Arlington last year.  The Rangers
blew him out.  The news the night we signed him showed a clip of him several
times sitting in the dugout punching a fan.  That was in Arlington against the
Rangers.  They also showed a clip of Rocker hitting Arod in the kneecap.

-> Another guy whom I'm willing to give a chance, but I'm a little more shaky
-> about him than I am about Rocker.  I keep thinking "Len Randle" over and
-> over and over.

An interesting comparison.  Probably not totally off base, either.

-> Sadly, I agree with you on this.  Something tells me they're going to
-> attempt to deal him away for "something," and let's hope they don't get
-> another Justin Thompson in return.

Well, it'd be interesting, as all the press Friday is talking to Juan's return

a two year deal yesterday.
