While on vacation last week in Honduras I met Bill White. He played for the Phillys, Cardinals,Giants, Yankees. Was announcer for the Yankees with Phil Rizutto for years and was National league President for years. Very nice guy. I didn't realize all he had done when I was talking to him. He said I resemble Dallas Green.

Where in Honduras were you? I live in San Pedro Sula and would have bought you dinner if you were here.

Don't get me wrong. I love the guy, his demeanor and attitude. $120 million for 5 years, a players option for the 6th, and a vesting option for year 7 is scary money for a pitcher who has averaged 13 wins and 11 loses the last 2 years, has one 20 win season, will be 33 at the start of next season, lost his 2 most important starts this year, and as of now his numbers are not hall of fame worthy. Baseball owners are out of their minds!

Sure as heck wish I had 3 pitches, threw 92 mph and could keep it down and on the corners....

Don't forget, the cather is an important part of the pitcher's success and the Phils have one heck of a guy calling the pitches behind the plate. He did an ok job with Doc this past year! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
