Yeah! Dice K has been somewhat of a disappointment in the last half of the season especially.
Hopefully he will improve next year if not his next start.
He has a track record of being there in the big games, but I think he is still on vaction this year..

hmmmmmmmm 13 or 14 wins, isnt good enough for a young talented pitcher thats going to get alot better and have a great career in the majors.
if you think thats money not well spent, then what do you think of the clemens and what he earned for his 5 era and 6 wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clemens price was ridiculous, I'd be surprised to see that happen again...

Well, here in Billings we have the Reds' AAA team The Mustangs. So if I were really a true fan, I'd be rooting for the Cincinatti Reds..........but I just can't bring myself to do that. Go Tribe!!

As far as Clemens goes...remember the last 4 years he was with the Saawx...they paid him 20+ million...he was barely a 500 pitcher...as many losses as wins. He was fat...with a capital f...and out of shape. In my humble opinion...he literally stole that money from the Saawx and their fans. The next year...he signs with the Blue Jays...reports in great shape and wins the CY...go figure!!!
Now...JD Drew...never mind...he gets my blood boiling!!!

. They may lose him because somebody...Yankees maybe...are willing to pay top dollar and give him a crazy number of years. I'd hate to lose him...but...you have to draw the line somewhere...remember...this year is by a pretty fair margin...a career year for him...baseball players don't generally improve with age after a certain point.
