Don't get me wrong, I'd love for this deal to happen. Griffey would fill two of our biggest needs in a CF and LH power hitter. Plus that deal would open up a ton of cash to resign our guys or go after another starter.
Does Cincy have the cash for that? By my quick crude figures, they would have to add at least $10 mil in payroll for '04. Plus Ken Griffey would have to approve it.
I see it in the NFL all of the time, but I can't think of anyone in MLB who has renegotiated a contract. Anyone got any examples or links? This just seems like something the players association would ixnay right away.
That is now the 2nd Bonds tie in to be involved in something like that. Barry is also associated with the THG ring. What are the odds that he isn't involved in using something? Slim to none if you ask me.
I think Urlacher is really missing Ted Washington. He is getting many more blocks on his than he used to. And actually is seems like Briggs is the one benefiting from Urlacher being bottled up.
I think Ricky Davis has benefited from having a selfless guy like LeBron running the show overthere. It makes him look more selfless when he has someone finding him, instead of forcing his shot to score. There is no arguing his scoring ability and potential. He just scares me coming to a team that has another me-ish PG in Crawford. I just don't feel like it would work.
Well every coach is a scapegoat for a bad team. Hell Jerry M was a scapegoat for the lazy ass effort that this team put forward. Did we get rid of the players? No we fired JM. Firing the coach is the nature of the beast.
I don't mind the Toronto scenario's, but why bring in Ricky Davis? This guy is just another Jalen Rose, who only plays offense, sleeps on defense, and is a shoot first pass later self-centered player.
