I think I’d almost take any commenter on this blog instead of Hafner at this point. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but not by much…

…although I’d take a $1.25M Thome over a $13M Hafner.

I did like Thome’s return for sentimental reasons (even though he was never really my favorite player back in the day), but I agree with you…this is one moment that they should look to the future and not the past.

thank goodness….i know i’m on thin ice with this line of reasoning & this thome homer crowd…but he turned his back on us for money (a la junior/A-rod w/ mariners) and i wrote him off from that point forward…his return was a waste of time, good feelings for the sappy aside….glad we decided to build that statue for the carpetbagger….but most importantly, this move indicates we aren’t living in our past…onward and upward with our future, not our past.
