"I'm throwing the ball as well as I ever have," said Boyd, 45, who last pitched in the majors for the Rangers in 1991. "I probably throw 90, and … I'm throwing all of my pitches." <o:p></o:p>

Boyd pitched eight seasons for the Red Sox (1982-89) before signing with the Expos as a free agent. His career was cut short two years later when he developed blood clots in his right shoulder that required injections of blood thinners into his stomach. <o:p></o:p>

Boyd, who went 78-77 with a 4.04 ERA in 10 seasons, believed he was blackballed from baseball because of his flamboyant nature. The right-hander was known for excellent control and an array of pitches, which now includes a knuckleball. <o:p></o:p>

Maybe they can stuff packs of Donruss with his card only. I must have 2500 91 Donruss cards of him.

"He has not officially retired yet,'' Jeff Borris, Henderson's agent, told Insider's Jerry Crasnick. "He still has aspirations.'' <o:p></o:p>

Last year Henderson hit .281 with 37 steals in 91 games for Newark in the Atlantic League. No big-league clubs have expressed an interest in bringing back Henderson this year, even on a minor-league invitation to spring training. <o:p></o:p>

Henderson, baseball's career leader in stolen bases and runs scored, hasn't played in the majors since 2003, when he hit .208 in 30 games for the Dodgers. He needs three homers to reach 300 for his career. If Henderson doesn't play in the big leagues again, he'll be eligible to enter the Hall of Fame in 2009. <o:p></o:p>

Oil Can was pitching in an independent league in 1997. Some of the guys I met at umpire school had worked in that league and told some funny stories about him.
