But, since every good baseball fan needs a BB, I'm ready to start looking for a new one. Because this is a serious commitment, I need to do this in steps -- kind of like a compatibility profile.
First, I need to decide which qualities I'm looking for in a BB. In the past, I had a thing for pitchers, but I don't want to limit myself anymore. There are plenty of quality non-pitcher candidates that I don't want to exclude anyone.
I know what I like. Slick defense is very hot - I get totally turned on by a beautiful turn of a double play. I also love things such as speed, guts, personality, and toughness. Looks count, too. So does good works both on and off the field.
It's been said that chicks dig the long ball. Well not this chick. To me, homeruns are like going out to dinner at Perkins - they're nice, they get the job done, but they're not particularly special. I'm looking for more.
So in the next few weeks, I'll evaluate my options. I'll pay attention to the stories from spring training and find out who are good teammates, who play well, who are likable, and who make me laugh.

I feel like I'm going to be that annoying friend that sets you up with a string of eligible young lads...
I have a thing for pitchers too! But having a starting pitcher as your baseball boyfriend IS hard, because you don't seem them as often as position players.
Initial gut feeling....Cuddy may be your man.
Even though we don't see him everyday, how about Mike Redmond?

Someone definitely needs to take Mike Redmond. The man is AMAZING.
And I feel the pitcher thing... It started with Joe Nathan, LNP made it in there somehow, then Matt Garza, and now Kevin Slowey.
It is hard to pick a BB with so many great guys to pick from. Despite his lack of hitting in 2007, my forever BB will be Nick Punto.
