Economics.  He's a table setter for Varitek, Ortiz and Ramirez?  Which outfielder do you want setting the table for your big guys?
 
 Johnny Damon: $8.25 Mil
 Carl Crawford: $625K
 Juan Pierre: $3.7 Mil
 Chone Figgins: $390K
 
 Table setters don't make $8.25 Million.  He's paid to be more than that. [/b]

like a grand slam in Game 7 of the ALCS?
 
 or a leadoff homerun in Game 4 of the Series.
 
 
  i wouldnt want any of those scrubs you listed actually.  not even for $10.  
 
   besides, who CARES who's a bargain when theres no salary cap and Henry doesnt give a rats ass about a luxury tax.
 
   Damon is better than all 3 of those guys. and apparently he's a better business man too.

If you were already happy with an irrelevant answer, why did you even ask the question?

well, we were talking about Eckstein. and my "why" was why does it matter that he's cheaper if he's not as good?

New travel rules for MLB because of the possibilty of extra inning games and having to travel long distances.  I think this is the second year of this new policy, but venerable will know for sure.

nah, aren't you happy with your molina's? is the good one still hurt?  I think Yadi will be a good one, although he is not very popular in the early going

[jkeisenh]

i have a bad team.  they should all be fired.

Bengie (or "Slow Mo" as I refer to him) can't stay healthy and Jose can't hit a lick.  They're both great defensively though.  I think Yadier has a lot of potential - what's he, like 22?  He's no Joe Mauer offensively, but he's a lot tougher.

Yadier may be the slowest position player I have ever seen, but I think he will end up hitting in the .270 area every year and be great defensively, he has a great arm, he is 22
 
 Eckstein is on base again

You've never seen Bengie run?  
 
 One time, Bengie grounded a chopper to A-Job at third, who caught it running towards first.  He looked up, saw Slow Mo moving towards first (I can't even call it running) and put the ball in his glove.  It looked for a couple seconds like A-Job was going to race Slow Mo to the bag, but he clutched tiwce and decided to soft toss it to Giambi instead.  For the record, A-Job would have beaten him to the bag.
 
 Bengie was pissed and had a few choice words for A-Job, who strolled off.  When A-Job came to bat, he had a few more choice words for A-Job, and they started shouting.  First pitch? High and tight.
 
 Lesson learned?  Don't make fun of the pitch caller.

I could see Arod trying a stunt like that, never seen Bengie run, mostly because I have a hard time watching american league baseball
