		<description><![CDATA[Jeffrey Loria&#039;s contempt for his players is only exceeded by his contempt for their fans. Cheapskate son of a bitch. The Feesh already have among the lowest attendance stats in major league sports, and this kind of thing will only, justifiably, make matters worse. Johnson will now concentrate on &quot;playing his way out&quot; of Miami, and if he can keep himself healthy, score his big payday year after next. This absurd policy in baseball of letting owners pocket revenue sharing money without either a salaryfloor or cap effectively orphans its fans in a half-dozen markets where skinflint owners merely pocket their revenues. If the few thousand fans in south Florida who still go to Feesh games and allow themselves to be metaphorically pissed on (as opposed to meteorologically pissed on, which happens a lot too) would find a little dignity in their hearts and find something else to do on game day, maybe Loria and his little cabal of Scrooges would get the message. As long as even the few of us who go to the games keep on passing through the turnstiles like a bunch of lemmings, these clowns will keep laughing at us all the way to the bank.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Its lowball, but one of the worst seems to be just wrong.
Given that 2 of the 3 years are under team control he doesn&#039;t have full rights.
Greinke gets about 25 million over last 2 control years and what would have been his first free agent year.
Lester gets about 24.
The difference between Greinke and Lester and what makes it Lowball - is the years - Greinke got another, Lester got an option though he signed the deal earlier than others.]]></description>
