You can work out anywhere, most hotels have gyms. Plus if he wasn't a cheater he wouldn't have had this problem anyway. I hate to sound like a jerk, but its Andy’s fault he didn’t keep in shape.

Mike Mussina took a huge paycut the last 2 seasons...why can't Andy?

They need him, Omar wants him, and Boras has played this well enough (getting the Brewers and Cardinals involved) to get this deal done. Paul Byrd has said he wants to come back at mid-season, a la Clemens. Paul Byrd??? Tells me he has no offers worth taking in the marketplace at the present time. Wolf? I think the Dodgers, Padres and Mets are his most likely landing spots. If the Mets don't sign Perez, I think Wolf cashes in pretty well. The Mets will overpay for him if they don't sign Perez. If the Mets are out of the picture, I think he gets a 2 year deal from either the Dodgers or Padres. Garland? I heard the other day he is still holding out for a 3 year deal. Thus far, nobody has offered him 3 years. The Dodgers are interested but, I don't believe they are interested in 3 years. His final resting spot is still unknown. Freddie Garcia is interesting. Colon signing with the White Sox may knock Garcia out of that spot. The Rangers are talking to Sheets as well as Freddie. The Mets and Yankees? I think it depends on what happens with Wolf, Perez and Pettitte. Supposedly, he is deciding next week. If that's the case, he's probably waiting to see how the other guys in the market shake out. Looks to be between Texas and the Yankees (IMO) unless a mystery team (my favorite Scott Boras term! lol) emerges. BD,
