Stephen Frazier was seen kissing Large Marge and telling us:
 SF> L E S S ??? Less than what, Bill Gates? They tried to sign belle for
 SF> EIGHT MILLION.
You throw that out as if I'm supposed to be impressed. Despite the 
foolishness of those that believe that Belle is a cancer on baseball, the 
fact is, he's worth up to $11 mil (As the White Sox fans how much he's worth. 
They're buying tickets like they're going to the World Series).
 SF> They traded for Williams when they came to their senses and figured
 SF> they may as well try and get a multi-dimensional player instead of
 SF> just a wallbanger.
Bull pucky. They traded for Williams when they felt Belle was going to leave 
and they had to have SOMEONE who would hit the ball out of the park. The only 
thing that they cared about Williams is that he could hit it out of the park 
and he was going to be cheaper than Belle.
 SF> same time. Williams will be a lot less a liability at third than is
 SF> Belle in left.
ONLY if he's in the lineup.
 SF> Hitting 50 homers and 50 doubles last year, followed by 48 homers and
 SF> 150+ RBI was a big factor. Still, no one in the world is worth ten
 SF> million dollars.
Really? Then stop watching television and movies so we can get those losers 
to sign for more sensible salaries.:-^
