As a matter of fact, I despise the homer. I would trade Paul Konerko for Jose Reyes any day of the week. A home run is hit or miss. A single can be a double, and the pain doesn't end there for the pitching staff.Fields aside, I believe that Joe has at LEAST three more years of top-notch play in him. He's not even 30!

Don't tell me off on YOUR site -- come to ours to call me a moron! :-)Besides -- Fields will cost even more than Crede when his contract does expire. Crede now: 3 yrs, $16 mil (with an option for a 4th year).Fields in three years when his contract is up: $10/year.It'll even out.Gepettohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04682088598285219586noreply@blogger.com
