Subject: RE: [SmileyList] contraction

Alan,
My only disagreement with you is a historical one (well, that, and what do
*you* guys need with Guerrero -- don't you already have somebody in RF?).
If we'd had this discussion 11 years ago, and we'd decided to eliminate two
teams then, we'd've picked the teams that had little attendance, a history
of not being competitive, and no real hope for the future.

Right, the Braves and the Indians.

The problem isn't the locations. The problem is ownership & front
offices.

Still waiting for Jerry Reinsdorf to read my resume,
Ben

Contraction - let the dispersal draft begin.

Vladmir Guerrero to the Cubs!

Actually, I am saddened by this. In my humble opinion, the Devil Rays
and
the Marlins need to drop out if Baseball is going to be serious about
strengthening the game.
