My name is a Chooch.

Free agency has started for MLB and the Rockies and Red Sox are wasting no time in trying to get the signature of Carlos Ruiz from the Phillies. Colorado better be careful with Chooch, he has been known to dabble with prescription drugs and consult his own doctor instead of the teams. He may wind up with a medical marijuana card and suspended from the league again.

There are some big name free agent catchers on the list this year and if Chooch parts ways with Philadelphia, look for the Phillies to pursue them. Topping the list we have Brian McCann, but he may be a tough option to sign. He has played his entire career with the Atlanta Braves and may not want to sign with a divisional rival, plus he has been know to express his interest in the American League. Jarrod Saltalamacchia is another good option for the Phils. He is just coming off a World Series victory with the Boston Red Sox and they may look to keep him on their roster, but with interest shown in Ruiz, this may not be the case. Another name on the list is A.J. Pierzynski. Though he is older than Carlos Ruiz and of the others, he provides a much needed bat in this Phillies lineup and could be cheaper than keeping Carlos. He is a 2x All-Star and a World Series Champion.

All in all, Roob the Boob, needs to make something happen during this off-season and during the free agent period, if he wants this team to succeed next year. My guess, he will f*ck this up for the team and city again.
