"Actually I said that Joe is a class act.
Whether he is a great manager or not, well that is for history to decide. Joe stated that HE felt insulted by the offer, which is simply a statement as to how he felt.
My guess is that if any of us on this forum had a marketable skill worth 5 mil, we would be PAID that amount of money and be happy to take it.
I notice the guys with the strongest opinions usually talk, not play.
PS- the guy has won 4 world series and made the playoffs 12 yrs in a row.
Any other managers out there can say that?"

And for your information I played in the minors for a few seasons before I realized that I was not going to make the bigs for any extended lenght of time. I played and am also talking. You?
Why the end of discusion, or are you just talking?
