I know he was great off of the field but on the field he always handed our asses to us, so he was pretty easy to hate.

August 12, 201114 yr Author Detroit Tigers reliever Al Alburquerque was struck in the head by a line drive during batting practice and carted off the field at Camden Yards. The severity of the injury was not immediately known. Alburquerque was walking in left field Friday while the Baltimore Orioles in the cage. Robert Andino hit a ball that struck the pitcher, who immediately dropped to the grass, kicking his legs in pain. Activity on the field promptly ceased as players from both teams surrounded Alburquerque. After being attended to by trainers from both teams, Alburquerque was taken off the field. Alburquerque has been a key contributor to the first-place Tigers. He is 5-0 with a 1.16 ERA in his last 22 appearances. Link

August 14, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 03:23 PM) Did the Indians offer him a competitive contract before he went to Philly? Not even close. $60 million/5 year offer from Cleveland, signed for $85 million with an option.
August 14, 201114 yr The problem is Thome said something silly like 'You'll have to tear the jersey off my back before I'd leave Cleveland,' or something of the sort.
August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) The problem is Thome said something silly like 'You'll have to tear the jersey off my back before I'd leave Cleveland,' or something of the sort. Exactly. But then you can't undercut the guy by that much as an organization, and hold it against him as a fan. The exact same thing happened to Robin Ventura (Sox offered 3/18, Mets 4/32). He never wanted to leave either, but you can't leave that kind of money on the table.
