Oh man, some of those diamond notes were classic:


Paul Lo Duca (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6032) says "Alex Cora (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6023) is the smartest player I've ever known."


<li>Jose Valentin (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=4948) does not think third base will be a problem. "I played there a lot with the White Sox, so there's no transition." Incidentally, both Puerto Rican League player-owners, Valentin and Carlos Baerga (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=4446), fired their managers after losing seasons.

It's fun to listen to Jim Leyland go on and on about how Jack Wilson (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6693) is a "great shortstop and player," comparing him favorably to Derek Jeter (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=5406).
