gametime Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 You know I have to point out that one of those pieces was the player that a lot of posters on here wanted out of Cincinnati because he didn't produce enough and ONLY hit .300. People wanted him out because he was being paid too much for what he produced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h.s.sportsrbest Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 People wanted him out because he was being paid too much for what he produced... Let's not forget, he is making far less this year than he was last year (under his old contract). His financial asking power dropped for a reason, even with beautiful new jewelry. :thumb: Although I couldn't be happier that a guy like Casey (nice as they come, genuinely) got a chance to win an AL Pennant and play for the big enchilada.

UKMustangFan Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I know, I know, it was one of the Lance's "talking points" todays, if they trade Dunn that frees up 22 million for next year with Milton being gone....Wouldn't it be nice to actually have the money to spend on some solid FA's instead of over the hill guys like Stanton?
