Maybe not, it seems. Then let's do it this season. If we can't in person, we have a fine chatroom. -- CF4L On Sun, 01 Feb 2004 15:54:32 -0600, "Jason Steffens"...

As much as I would have loved to have had Pudge, the Tigers are chumps for paying him far, far more than he's worth. -- CF4L On Mon, 02 Feb 2004 17:05:04...
1. The Cubs play Milwaukee 17 times, 10 at Milwaukee. That means that while Houston (and St. Louis) play 81 home games, the Cubs effectively play 91 (Cub fans...
I see plenty. I would not have been unhappy with keeping Karros, playing him at first, and going after a shortstop or catcher instead of a first baseman. --...
Ok, I just read this...the funny thing is is that they didn't want to keep him because of salary, for th emost part correct? Well, he's *only* making $550,000...

LOL How did I not see this question coming?? I'm afraid that the ballpark is in the middle of a commercial area, pretty much. There are parking meters on the...

Karros had a fairly good season for us, but that's about as good as it gets. He is a below average hitter for first basemen. We had no room for him to play...
Karros would have been a great bat off the bench, but for what he would have wanted -- the market was apparently quite dry -- it would have been worth it to...

Signing Karros at a bargain rate would have been OK in my book, but offering him arbitration would be a waste of money, in my opinion. I think Barrett will hit...
