Just the front office takin out the trash. Thank God he's gone. Makin room for the young TALENTED pitchers.
I wouldn't call a 33 year old knuckleballer "young" or "TALENTED". Bavasi got caught not cutting Ramirez earlier because the Bedard trade was so mysterious, the stuff before Adam Jones opened his pie hole. R.A.Dickey is NOT going anywhere, he is a rule 5 guy, the last thing you want to do is pay another team to take the guy you groomed and beat you to death with him, he is on the roster until the last pitch of 2008.
As far as what was given up for Ramirez..... Whiney, pissy don't want to do as asked, pick a fight with any teammate who knocks me for not trying, fake a sore elbow, PRICK, Rafael Soriano. He gets to start the season in atlanta and will probably end it on the DL. we didn't miss much!!
Ramirez has already been paid for this year, no matter where he plays. Just like Pokey Reese in 2006 and Arthur Rhodes in 2007, Free Money pours out of Bill Bavasi. Ramirez get 2.47 million and a new address, oh, and a reason to stay in the AL WEST....vengeance....
MY LORD, just take a peek at the depth chart, Wilkerson and Bedard are the only people to change the lineup card from last year. Wilk, only because Guillen took his drugged butt out of here. The secondary players ARE STILL, Willie(give the man a starting job, already), Mike Morse and Jose Vidro.
Sorry guys, that is just the passion for the game speaking!! oh, I am still willing to carry Bavasi's luggage to the airport on any given day!!!
