Yep. Me too.

Nomar is now an older, injury-prone player who will still try to get that money back that he turned down in Boston.

 

Not only that, but Walker is a good LEFTY stick. Not as good as I'd like, but he sure could help this team against those tough righties.

Definitely, and he's a much more legit option.  FWIW, Nomar was never even put on waivers, while Walker has cleared waivers.

Good point. Walker is a good choice as well.

Is Nomar going to be a realisitic option in free agency if we're going to have to upgrade at SS? Will be interesting to see what type of contract he gets.

I think that he could be just because of his last 2 injury plagued seasons.

I believe his agent is Arn Tellum who has a real good relationship with JR. JR can be pretty creative with contracts, especially incentive-related ones. If the rumors are true that he is building a home in the area, it wouldn't surprise me something could get done, although I find it unlikely, if that makes any sense. I hope wherever he lands, as long as its not the Urinal, he gets back to where he was. He was a great hitter, and a pretty decent guy. I think he was unfairly put in a bad light after he was traded last season.

His contract could have been a lot worse to deal with.  While I would gladly take Nomar's bat in our lineup, he's just so unreliable right now.  No one has mentioned that he had bad back spasms now.  It's a shame...he was a great player until he started going after the rat.

He'd fit right in with his back problems.
