ok, I think that is sound, but I still have no confidence he will come back this year, therefore we are paying a guy 4.5 million and 6 next year. If something is wrong, lets say he has surgery at the end of this year. wasted money... My point is I don't think he will come back for whatever reason... doesn't matter what the reason is. He is not worth the money, therefore costing us payroll to use on other players. I would love to cut my loses now, but no body will take this guy and his salary. So we are stuck. Stcik with him if you want, but I and apparently the whitesox do not want this guy closing games. He is in a season long slump. Not a two week slump.
