Just so I understand your point. You feel you are better versed than Dr. Andrews or Dr. Lintner on whether he is injured or not ?

Nothing wrong in using the info I provide to make the opposite point. I've done that a few times myself.
If I have insurance and I get sick, yes, I'm going to get paid. So will Bagwell - the question is, is he sick, and I don't think he is. I think I posted why not before; I will again below. But first, I think it's a mute point to ask if the money should be spent on healthy players instead, and not just because Bagwell is healthy. It's because the money WON'T be spent on anyone else. McLane is a notorious penny pincher; with no big name free agents out there and no new rumours about possible big trades, he'll just pocket the money in typical McLane fashion. The AStros with a $95 million payroll? On McLane's watch? HA! The choice is between $95m and loyalty to Bagwell, or $80m and the same team sans Mr. Astro.
Why I say he's healthy, I think I already posted it: it seems to me that Bagwell couldn't play last year, and could only hit at the end of the year, because he was recovering from surgery. He's recovered now. He couldn't play well right before the surgery because he needed surgery, but he's had it now. Ergo, there's no reason he can't play anymore.

If Bagwell really is unable to perform, he should say that, absolutely. But he doesn't think he is; I'm sure he believes he would be lying if he said it. Does...
