The list that probably isn’t true (update: yeah, not true at all)

December 13th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanE

I know I said we’d keep all MLB stuff over on the House, but since this is as yet unconfirmed, we’ll keep it over here. Over there, it’s wide-scale rumormongering; here, it’s speculative fun.

Anyway, here is the list that’s getting passed around all over the place. I’ve now seen this same list a couple times via email, and it was just posted by a commenter at BBTF, too. It may or may not be true, it’s something to start the day. Warning all those who proceed: POSSIBLE INACCURACIES LAY AHEAD:

Brady Anderson, Manny Alexander, Rick Ankiel, Jeff Bagwell, Barry Bonds, Aaron Boone, Rafaeil Bettancourt, Bret Boone, Milton Bradley, David Bell, Dante Bichette, Albert Belle, Paul Byrd, Wil Cordero, Ken Caminiti, Mike Cameron, Ramon Castro, Jose and Ozzie Canseco, Roger Clemens, Paxton Crawford, Wilson Delgado, Lenny Dykstra, Johnny Damon, Carl Everett, Kyle Farnsoworth, Ryan Franklin, Troy Glaus, Rich Garces, Jason Grimsley, Troy Glaus, Eric Gagne, Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi, Jeremy Giambi, Jose Guillen, Jay Gibbons, Juan Gonzalez, Clay Hensley, Jerry Hairston, Felix Heredia, Jr., Darren Holmes, Wally Joyner, Darryl Kile, Matt Lawton, Raul Mondesi, Mark McGwire, Guillermo Mota, Robert Machado, Damian Moss, Abraham Nunez, Trot Nixon, Jose Offerman, Andy Pettitte, Mark Prior, Neifi Perez, Rafael Palmiero, Albert Pujols, Brian Roberts, Juan Rincon, John Rocker, Pudge Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Scott Schoenweiis, David Segui, Alex Sanchez, Gary Sheffield, Miguel Tejada, Julian Tavarez,Fernando Tatis, Maurice Vaughn, IJason Varitek, Ismael Valdez, Matt Williams and Kerry Wood.

Just look at that. As a Cubs fan, let me just say that the inclusion of Kerry Wood and Mark Prior are not only not surprising, it’s the icing on that ridiculous cake. Idiots. for the rest of the list, it looks pretty OK. Again, this may or may not be the final product of Mitchell’s announcement today, but as of this morning it looks like a pretty comprehensive primer.

Um yeah, here’s the real list via Deadspin.
