I disagree. You think the corking instance had nothing to do with it? Whispers of steroid use? His bigger-than-Lake-Michigan ego? The fact that his teammates hated him and his attitude? His inability to hit the outside corner after getting nailed in the head? You think the only thing that other teams ever judged Sosa on was leaving the last game of the year early paired with Hendry's propaganda?

I never said they were bigger crap shoots. I said Ibanez and Abreu were just as much a risk as Bradley. I think Bradley was the bigger crapshoot, but I also believe he offered a far higher potential reward.

I guess this is just another thing we're not going to see eye to eye on. However, I would like to know what you think about Starlin Castro. He's drummed up enough interest that I have to think you have an opinion on him.

i don't know shit about starlin castro. and no, i don't think the ego or the cork had aanything to do with sosa. had he not bailed on the last day of the season, he wouldn't have been traded. and sosa wasn't bashing the cubs in the press, fighting with hitting coaches, taking himself out of games (except for thelast one). sosa played hard until that last day. hendry fucked that whole thing up.
