Not to mention how badly MLB ran the franchise into the ground, or the fact that Loria was allowed to gut the team of its entire scouting staff resulting in a couple years of just abhorrent drafts.
Lo Duco: 1yr $5M, released 8/1/08. Estrada 1yr $1.5M released a week prior to that. In the face of those two contracts, getting a future hall of famer in a stated backup role for 2yrs $6M really looks cheap.

I think Jim Bowden should team up with Peter Angelos in Baltimore, that would assuredly be the straw that breaks the camels back. What a Loser!!

Self-deprecation at its finest.
