Not only do you run the risk that he sucks again, but once again you shrink the market. And that lessens the $$ they will spend in free agency. Boy, I hope you're wrong. Not suggesting you are wrong, just hoping.
Ok so you are fine with a player getting thrown at head high? I'm not. Alleged intent my ass. Why are you standing up for a lying, cheating organization?
Once again, fuck the Astros....I did not change their name, happy?
The classless move of throwing at Jose when they had a huge lead put me firmly in the camp of the Astros can fuck all the way off....I hope their offense goes cold and they get swept.
I agree with you that they will need to pay 1/2 his salary to get a decent return.
I remember reading someone here who believes the Sox keep him until the trade deadline next season if teams are not willing to take on his entire salary. That sounds risky to me....he might suck again.
I don't really follow the NL but I was surprised to see some "experts" pick the Braves to win it all because they had been quietly playing outstanding ball in the last month.
Speaking of spending/not spending...I wonder what would have happened if Wheeler accepted the Sox offer (or I should say if Mrs. Wheeler accepted the offer)?
Some days when I'm low and I think all is lost for the future of my beloved Palehose, I close my eyes and repeat...this guy won a World Series...this guy won a World Series....
I believe he was brought in to put this team in a position to win in the playoffs so he is a failure. Sorry if that seems harsh but that is what the front office sold us.
