Didn't someone say he was hitting about .200? If he's hitting .300, they don't even report this to the media.
Is he psycho? <i>Hell</i> yes. Was there ever any doubt? It was a 100% certainty <i>before</i> Hendry signed him. Jim thought (and I agreed) that his bat would overshadow his psychological weirdness.
Maybe Jim's decision to cut bait was a great idea. It's impossible to tell when a guy who was putting up OPS's of 1.000 is now OPSing .680, and pissing himself and everybody else off.
Before you guys jump all over me, let me state: yes, he's a dick. And yes, the storming out of the clubhouse was the ultimate dick move. It's the second time in 3 days that Seattle has had one of their players with a $10 million-per-year deal (Eric Brynes was the other) flake out on them.
I sincerely hope that Seattle's lawyers find a loophole that allows them to terminate this crybaby's contract.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
