    Still WAY too much money.

    He's a black hole on offense. Frenchy from the left side with a little better defense.

    The Cubs would need to send a prospect or two to boot IF they paid his contract down to around $10 million per if they couldn't guarantee he'd opt out. He's already dead weight and wouldn't start for the Braves next season.

    Yes, I really did say that.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    A little better defense? Jeff was only fast for a couple of years and never took good routes. Jason may have fallen a long way as a player, but he could put his shoes on the wrong feet and his glove on the wrong hand, and still play better defense than Jeff ever did.

    Saying it's too much money is fine. Saying all the other stuff you said is a little crazy. I mean, it COULD end up being true. But it is more likely that it will definitely not be true.

    Definitely on the extreme end, no doubt, but I sure wouldn't want to be paying him even $15 million per to find out whether I'm wrong. You KNOW he's not dumb, so he's definitely not going to exercise either one of those opt-outs.
