42, 43: You are right. Silent L has been the most valuable utility guy for the Padres, taking over for Greene and NOG in two seasons. Still the news made me happy.

That’s unfortunate, Steve. I’ve heard good things about Blum with fans.

I think it’s wierd that stories are saying “Boras misread the market” resulting in A-Rod going back to the Yankees …

And I think this report is wierd about Torrealba and the Mets …

What makes them wierder is that MLB revenue = $6B … that’s $200M per team … which seems to me says that there is more money out there to pay higher players salaries …

43: No kidding? I wouldn’t have guessed that about Silent L.

B(l)um was ok (got more **** than he probably deserved), but we all kind of took him on as the team whipping boy. That said I’m glad to see him go because he was a complete **** to my wife, my self and about 6 or 7 kids at spring training the year after he hit the big HR for the white sox.

Cool, best news of the off-season so far. No more Silent L.
He’s their fans’ whipping boy now.
