I wish this nonsense would go away. He signed a minor league contract for a hill of beans and a couple bubble gum wrappers last year, obviously his ego isnt too big to do that. And this negates him now saying it's $7 million or bust after a distinctly mediocre year? I didn't say that. I was just pointing out that he had taken considerable pay-cuts before so obviously he is at least (or was) willing to do so. Right, but he went into last year with that attitude...now he's starting off completely different. Clearly, he thinks he "proved" something worth $7 million dollars. Well, he proved he is still quite solid against lefties. I dont know if thats worth 7 mil, but hey. But hey... no. He'll be lucky if he gets 2.
