I found a link (at Hotfoot.com ) to an article that should clear up any of the rumor and conjecture regarding Moises Alou’s strange practice of peeing on his own hands.

A friend of BMF’s who runs a Wheat Grass farm here in Brooklyn, knows about these types of things and tells me proponents of Urine Therapy swear by their self-made product. They claim drinking your own piss can do everything from boost your immune system to stimulate hair growth and erections.

I’m not sure if pee shots will help your baseball game but our boy Moises doesn’t drink it, he just likes to soak his hands with the stuff.

Here’s the link: http://www.slate.com/id/2100652/

Hey, can you argue with a guy who is a career .300 hitter? No.

With the astronomical numbers that are being handed out this off-season we can only imagine what the market will bear for Barry Zito.

I’d expect a big, young, durable, Cy-Young proven, lefty might fetch a higher price than Soriano. I mean EVERYONE is looking for pitching and Scott Boras is once again in the drivers seat.

Normally I hate these situations but the way I see it the money the Wilpons will see from CitiBank should very neatly cover any and all costs of Barry Zito.

CitiField doesn’t open for 2 more years but BMF figures CitiBank’s name will be all over Shea next season, which should mean some additional revenue in the Wilpon coffers. Of course it won’t be 20M in ’06 but I’d venture to guess at least 1M will trickle into Freddy’s new CitiBank account.

With all that money Citi Zito. Can’t be far away.

Quick Hit:

• BMF will be awaiting MLB’s announcement of the Kei Igawa sweepstakes. The deadline for bids is 5:00 pm monday.

• BMF is dying for some Met related news already!
