I don't know.. he is a nasty guy.. even as commentator talking about baseball it comes through..

I'm guessing he is still employed because he had a tough battle with cancer just last year and firing him might seem harsh to some?

Austin Jackson signed with the White Sox for the same money he turned down from Anaheim (1-year, $5m).

Not sure if he didn't want to play left field, or maybe not bat lead off?  I can't imagine it's because he couldn't beat out Daniel Nava or Craig Gentry...

makes you wonder..... would a guy walk away from $13M solely because the team asked him to just not bring his kid into the clubhouse EVERY SINGLE DAY??....

My Nats friends say Drake was clubhouse mainstay and was always around with the Nats.  LaRoche would take a stand on this.

I have a feeling he's going to walk this back.

We?re not big on school. I told my wife, ?He?s going to learn a lot more useful information in the clubhouse than he will in the classroom, as far as life lessons.' "
