But both have rather bad strategies.

First, let’s go back to my bread and butter: Brian Sabean. The Giants decided to re-sign Barry Bonds for the total sum of $16 million for one year. To give some perspective, that kind of money could have kept Jason Schmidt or possibly signed Juan Pierre AND Jose Guillen. But the good news is that I know I am not alone in my disgust for Sabean’s strategery.

And in my hometown, the Sonics’ new ownership is taking quite a drastic approach and is giving the team about a month until they have a garage sale and liquidate all players and coaches. The scenario seems strangely familiar: owner wants to move team, owner gets rid of good players so they fail…Major League? No, that’s not the one… Major League 2, that’s the one!
