What Is ex Dodger pitcher Bob Welch doing nowadays??
446529
His book "Five O'Clock Comes Early" was co-written with New York Times sports columnist George Vecsey and chronicles Welch's battle with alcoholism.\n\nWelch was the pitching coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks when they won the World Series in 2001.\n\nDuring the 2006 World Baseball Classic, Welch served as the pitching coach for The Netherlands.

Watching the Dodgers play the A's.  Score's tied 4-4 and they're headed to the bottom of the 15th inning at the moment!\n\nGo Dodgers!

The closest I could find is his music from 2004, when he was with the Detroit Tigers (ESPN Page 3).\n\nSorry.

I take a different approach.\n\nMy opinion is that he will either retire or return to Boston. (it would only be for a couple of months at the most, like a summer home for the family in Boston - its not too hard on him or the family)\n\nHe will not go to the Rangers, he's done with the yankees (he has some nice memories, why ruin them), his actions at his last game this year in front of the Astros crowd told me at that moment, he was sure his days in the Stros uniform were over, and he said goodbye to the fans.\n\nThe only place he has unfinished business is with Boston (after the wa he left the team) He knows the club (with new ownership and Front office) and the fans want him there, he will probably were a Sox cap in the hall of fame, why not finish your career in one. Plus he can actually be above a .500 pitcher in Boston, can't with the Astros (carlos lee ain't going to solve that)\n\nThere are many rumours that he regreted signing with the astros, and wanted to be traded to boston at the deadline. I am sure he will at least consider playing for the Sox again.\n\nAnd he has a better chance of a postseason with Boston than Astros, Boston will have a better rotation and hitting than the Astros (they will need it too) If you are coming back, might as well try for another world series..\n\nThat being said, Retirement is at least a 50% chance as well, probably higher.

A healthy Gagne, another quality set-up man and for God's sake, quit with the interleague games!!!\n\nSeriously, it looks like Coletti has made another move to shore up the starting rotation, trading Jae Seo and Dioner Navarro to the Devil Rays for Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall. Brett Tomko went on the 15 day DL as well, so I think Ned's dealing days aren't over yet...

I think if Bagwell clearly wanted to play somebody would sign him to a minor league deal and see if he could last out. The question is not whether he can still hit but whether he can stay off the DL long enough to hit. Bagwell has a degeneritive shoulder condition. So it's never going to heal. It will just get worse the rest of his life. \n\nThis is really sad as Bagwell hit in the Astrodome most of his career. That was THE worst part to hit in during it's entire existence. Would have loved to see that balenced out some with Minute Maid park with is a hitter's paradise.  Bagwell needed only a couple more good seasons to be a first ballot certain HOF.  His not getting his 500th HR worries me. There are guys with 500 HRs who won't make the hall nowdays.  I think Bagwell deserves the HOF. Would love to see him get those couple good years to ice the cake and be certain to get it. \n\nBagwell also played with more class than most modern players. He signed for considerably less than he'd gotten as a free agent on more than one occasion. He was a steady and positive influence on the team year after year.

I remember him. He used to play on the same team with Dale Murphy. He was a very good power hitter and a decent 3rd baseman.

News: Albert Pujols took batting practice, fielded grounders and ran hard in the outfield Tuesday. The Cardinals' star is getting closer to returning as he recovers from a strained oblique muscle suffered June 3. Pujols might be able to come off the DL in time for the Cardinals' weekend interleague series in Detroit. "He's stepping up the program. Everything so far, he's feeling good," manager Tony La Russa said, adding Pujols was not in any pain. "He'll keep stepping it up until he's game-ready. But there is a conditioning factor now, too. It's not just getting his legs in shape and his arm in shape, there is a lot to get ready."\n\nAnalysis: Keep Pujols reserved until the weekend at least, but he could return to lineups thereafter. That's great news for his owners at this point, but there's still a few rivers for his oblique to cross.\n\nDon't you love it when jack-holes like the 2 idiots above post stupid answers?

I guess Murph won't get inducted unless it's by the veterans committee, which is a real shame.  During the 80's the guy was as dominant as anyone in the game.  If Dawson gets in, then Dale shouldn't be too far behind.  Similar to Murphy, Dawson played for a poor team and put up some huge numbers.  I'm also pulling for Dale b/c he's such a nice guy and a fantastic ambassador for baseball.

[AP Wire]\n\nSAN DIEGO -- Jose Canseco returned to baseball Thursday when he agreed to a contract with the independent San Diego Surf Dawgs, planning to be their designated hitter and -- get this -- pitch.\n\nThe Golden Baseball League announced the deal Thursday night, saying the former AL MVP and Rookie of the Year will make his Surf Dawgs debut Monday night on the road against the Chico Outlaws.\n\nCanseco will make his debut at 10:05 ET on July 3.\n\nCanseco's return to baseball comes some 19 months after he attracted Congress' attention with an autobiography, "Juiced," that accused several top players of steroid use.\n\nIn March 2005, he testified before the House Government Reform committee that he used performance-enhancing drugs as a player.\n\nCanseco didn't immediately return a message left on his cell phone.\n\nThe news release announcing the deal said Canseco will be the DH "and will showcase his knuckleball as a member of the team's pitching staff."\n\nCanseco made one big league pitching appearance, working the final inning for the Texas Rangers in a 15-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on May 29, 1993. He walked the bases loaded and allowed three runs and two hits. He threw 12 strikes and 21 balls, most of which were far from the strike zone.\n\nCanseco will be playing for the league maximum of $2,500 per month.\n\n"We strive to provide a high quality entertainment product, and Jose will undoubtedly be entertaining for our fans," GBL president Amit Patel said in a statement.\n\nThe GBL is essentially baseball's lowest rung. Rickey Henderson played for the Surf Dawgs last year as he tried to attract the attention of a big league team.\n\nCanseco hasn't played in the big leagues since 2001 with the Chicago White Sox, who purchased his contract from the independent Newark Bears.\n---------------------------------------------------\n\nDon't bank on a cup of coffee coming his way.

We are all forgetting Ken Caminett..Jose Canseco is a hero..He shed light on a major problem..All the way to the owner of these teams..And coaches to stand by and let this go on...Just think if you were a manager of yor sons or daughter baseball or softball team would you stand by as your child coach and just let them shoot up...NO I didn't think so...In 1984 there was an aricle in the Modesto Bee about it, I was a junior in high school...Mark and Jose were young pups when they arived on the sence of the steroid issue in baseball...But as the "Basher Bothers" took hold and they were on the top, ya don't think they didn't use but for the owners to sit back and let it happen they too are apart of the "Basher Brothers" big Bash in baseball in the 80's

he is not playing as he used to be. he has to bat well . he has to improve. basically he is hitter of ball but nowadays he is not hitting ball also

I'm fairly certain he is not a hitting coach.  I have heard he is doing the occasionaly fantasy camp.  He has a web site which is currently under construction...

he will retire and land in the HOF. He can still pitch but I think he has accomplished all there is it seems and doesn't have much more incentive to go another season.

I believe they still have a shot. Alot of good veteran players on that team. And I remember last season when they were almost out of the picture but came all the way back to make it to the world series. Anytime you put a class act like Clemens on your team and in your locker room it can't be a bad move .Even if he doesn't pitch as good as he used to he can still help your team. And you never know , he may end up throwing like the rocket of his younger days.
