July 26, 200322 yr but will frank want to at a certain price or would he want some sort of a raise? remember vlad is coming out as a fa and if he goes for big $$$$ , frank may want some of that cash as well. Remember it was ARod's contract started his whole "hold out" over the DSC, so to Frank it really does matter what everyone else is making. Sometimes as you get older, you get wiser and have a better understanding of what is important. Perhaps Frank will begin to see that his legacy is with the White Sox and it would be more important for him to end his career there than leave for a couple extra million. Hopefully he can find a way to live on $6mil or so.

July 26, 200322 yr I will always respect and root for Frank wherever he goes but if he stays here his entire career, I will respect him much more. So will HOF voters. A guy who spent his whole career with one team, and had darn good stats. Somewhat like Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken. You dont see many guys like that anymore. Edgar Martinez, Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell are the only active players whose single team streaks are longer than Franks. So I hope Frank doesnt mess that up after getting this far...
