Great signing for the Sox! Rocco, if healthy, should get plenty of game time with the Sox. With JD Drew always a risk to go on the DL, Jacoby still susceptible to slumps, and Papi needing some rest against lefties at times, Rocco will be sure to get plenty of AB’s!
Also nice to see the Sox have a back-up plan with Kotsay….
Where did Theo get that UnderArmour jacket? I’ve looked at all the usual sites, but have been unable to find it. Pretty sweet….

I am happy to hear Rocco signed with the Sox. I am a tad concerned about the health issues…especially since JD’s back is always persnickety.
But I do love having a home town boy playing with the team…and they got a really talented guy on the cheap (mainly because of the health stuff). It’s a good play…and now I can’t wait to see those homers at Fenway. I am really going to enjoy cheering for him.

P.S. I love that the Nation snark was so diminished on Rocco. One, he’s one of the New Englanders…and two, I think we’ve all begun to hear and hence the bitterness is resigning.

Why do you keep posting under different names, GoAwayBaldelli? You hate Rocco, you hate Kevin Cash… is there anyone else you wanna hate on? Be sure and post under another name when you tell us!

Aww! GoAwayBaldelli! It’s been ages since you’ve posted here! I had started to wonder where you were.
Take your shoes off, Old Buddy! Stay a while!

Loved the way he gloated on the news last night about beating us last year. ROLLING EYES
The guy is always injured and useless and last year he ran his mouth after they beat us.

His eyes look super pretty in that first picture. Also, being an RIer, I’m of course ridiculously excited about this. Even if he’s a Hendricken boy, I can give an exception to the rule sometimes (I only say this because it seems like almost all the boys who go to Hendricken who are from my area are giant douchebags. It could be different with the ones who live by the cities)

Nice homecoming. The OF will be lookin’ sharp even though I’m missing Coco to pieces.

Liza, I’m with you. I’m giddy. Unreasonably giddy. (What a babe!)

I am psyched we got him–a bit ridiculously psyched, actually. I have such regional pride in New England ballplayers.

Jessica- I was sure I’d visit your blog to find you’d gone blackout in mourning.

As a fellow Rhode Islander and someone who watched Rocco play for Hendricken against my high school, I’m very pumped for this signing. Can’t wait to get my Baldelli jersey…

I like this signing and think he’ll be a great 4th OF.
Texy, I thought of you when I read the news about Burrell going to the Rays. It just seems so wrong.
