I applaud JP's guts here. Seems like he's asking for "team first" players. Good. |
Yeah, well, there was a lot of the same thought when the Sox invoked the diminished skills clause, because Frank wasn't too happy about it. General consensus was that invoking it was kind of a classless move by the Sox, but Frank
did agree to it, so...
