RibbieRubarb Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) What would Frank and Curt (and whomever else) have to do while they are on this task force? I'm sure Rep Davis will inform them when they appear, that's when he'll have them sworn in to be part of the taskforce. Frank...gettin his MFin Props!!

Queen Prawn Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Ummm... I don't think I like that. Players should not be put into a position to tattle on other players. An independent pannel should be formed. People with nothing to gain from outing, or hiding, the players using. That's exactly what I was thinking. I really think it could put active players on this taskforce in a sticky predicament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am proud of Frank to be asked to be part of this taskforce... I do share your concern on what consequences this could create between players. Does that make Frank the clubhouse Narc? I guess we should wait and hear the exact details on what they expect from him and Curt. Edited March 17, 2005 by RibbieRubarb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I agree with your comments about Pellman. However, I think he just said somthing that gives us a clue as to what Selig will say. He said he would recommend to MLB that the Minor league policy is the best because it was implemented without negotiations. Selig is going to blame the union for not allowing MLB to institute the policy they wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) Schilling would have a tough choice to make: Take the position Ruin his position as head of the players' union Increase his chances of getting into politics after his playing days Don't accept it Keep in favor with the players and the union Possibly blackball himself from a future in politics Edited March 17, 2005 by knightni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 More pharmacies in Tijuana than anywhere else in Mexico? Last time I looked Mexico City was home to over 20 million souls. Tijuana I think is less than a million. What's Mr Fox have to say about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
