teh Dusty may be able to earn a few bucks of his salary with a guy like Bradley. If teh Dusty has so-called success being a player's manager, let's test it out.
Milton can flat rake, and his bat is precisely what this offense needs. If he calls Jeff Brantley a horse's you know what during his tenure here, then that's even more bang for the buck right there.

Heck, I think I'd pay extra if he stormed up to give a certain poofy-haired announcer what for. Make it an incentive.
Nah, Pujols would make too much money for some people.
It's actually kind of interesting. I can look at a thread about acquiring a player, a potential trade, an actual acquisition, etc. and I can tell just by looking at the names of people who like a deal and who do not like a deal whether I'll likely like the deal. And that's without even knowing any of the players/terms of the deal.
It's like what Puffy said when discussing who he relates to the most on RZ by stating, "Generally, I associate with the people who are right about most things and disagree with those wrong about most things."

What would you rather have, a left fielder that sits in chairs in the clubhouse or one that throws them in the clubhouse?

The less risk there is, the more money you pay.

May I just say that this new "tag" feature is both pretty groovy and likely to become completely out of control.
Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden weren't good clubhouse guys in 1986 and the Mets did all right that year. It doesn't matter to me whether he's a good guy, or whether or not the broadcaster's and his teammates like him. If he produces, I'm all for it. I'm not saying I'd go overboard with the contract, because there's obviously risk attached. But if Dusty dealt with Barry in San Fran, he can surely deal with Milton in Cincy.
