i think they look at what having a big deal with griffey has done for us. i read in one of the papers that the white sox median salary was around 2m, where i believe ours was under 1m. we have a few high priced guys and a lot of low ones. its much better to have a lot in between that, imo
what do you think
p.s. this doesnt mean i dont want him signed, just not at a price that will hurt us
