November 4, 200719 yr I say go for it!!! NOT! Miguel Cabrera doesn't need a mentor to teach him how to act like a selfish prick, which is what Sammy is.....
November 4, 200719 yr If you look at Sammy's performance last year, especially the second half when he lost playing time to a younger player, in some offensive categories his numbers improved leading me to think he could be an asset coming off the bench or platooning. That said, all that was well and good at $500k a season, but as has been pointed out above, at any number north of a million, nevermind the $7 million he's seeking, there are just too many young players looking for their shot at a roster spot to seriously consider the guy. Sammy has to decide if he wants the chance to maybe (long shot) join the elite 700 club or he wants $7 million. He can't have both. Not here, not anywhere. If the guy's ego is so big that he thinks he can get $7 million next year, no chance (no matter how much he's making since it won't be that high) that he'd settle for coming off the bench.

November 6, 200719 yr Sosa still has a few solid years in him I think but for us, no matter what the price, it simply doesn't make much sense.
