Jeff didn't respond to laid back Bob Melvin either. AL vs NL = 70-100 point drop??? Nahhhhh; especially with a 300 career hitter; just glad he's gone. The real dissapointing thing is, the Ms will still be paying most of what's left on his $15 million dollar contract. Still makes it kind of tough to go after that free-agent horse. Probably why we couldn't sign Tehada.

I like Spezio and Aurilia, but I agree that they aren't a big step up from Willie and Carlos. Ibanez rocks! Tooooooo bad we couldn't get Tehada.
