Batting .225 doesn't make you worth 15 million a year.

For 15 million a year I want a guy who gets on base all the time and has power.

I love Andruw to death, I really do - but I don't want him @ 15 mil a year, especially because that will hamper us to sign free agents in other areas of need.

I heard that and what makes me sick is the fact that JS said he will wait for the off season to discuss that. They should know if they'll be able to afford him right now, if we end up losing him via Free agency that would really suck for us to lose a guy of that caliber for nothing.
