now you're trolling. I thought he was using humor to point out the ridiculousness of CubfaninCA assertion that just because a player gets paid more, means he should get to decide what he does, even though the franchise invests the money in him and should call all shots that might affect his future health and well being. I said "depends on the situation." Pretty convienient caveat. Is that when ever you decide the situation applies? Baseball's a situational game. An authoritative approach is unwise, especially when you're dealing with multi-millionaires who can leave you for the Yankees, Red Sox or Dodgers. The point that seems to escape most discussing how best to play the game. You can apply rules to the long-term, but baseball is a situational game. Unfortunately, Cubs management doesn't get how this works.
