"Yeah, I'm very surprised because I told him not to go there," Spiezio said. "I flat-out told him he was going to hate it. I don't know what he was thinking. Based on my experience, he will hate it. He'll hate everything about it.
"It's a pitcher's park, that's for sure. But part of the whole deal here [with St. Louis], we have the fans behind us, we have a front office that wants to win, and teammates that play hard and are team players. None of the above are over there."
Which came first the chicken or the egg? Maybe he performed poorly in a pitchers park with a poor environment? Or did he not like it cause he performed poorly?Spiezio's bitterness over his time in Seattle — which might carry more weight had he not performed so poorly — spilled forth Saturday when asked if he was surprised Weaver left the Cardinals to sign with the Mariners.
I'll buy what Speez is selling. He has always been a clutch performer, able to rise to the occasion. Thats why he has been so impressive in the playoffs. He seems to be one of those guys that need motivation from the fans and the front office, nothing wrong with that. Just needed to come to the right team.vinsanity wrote:Which came first the chicken or the egg? Maybe he performed poorly in a pitchers park with a poor environment?

thats a pretty dang good relief pitcher"The fact is, they weren't even close," Boras told the Post-Dispatch. "Jeff gave St. Louis every opportunity. We let them know what Jeff's market was. Their response was to make an offer literally appropriate for a relief pitcher."
According to the newspaper, the Cardinals' offer was slightly more than a $5 million guarantee plus appearance incentives. It is believed they also presented a two-year proposal.
Well Looper is making 5 million this year, though I guess he is a starter nowRxOfCowbell wrote:thats a pretty dang good relief pitcher"The fact is, they weren't even close," Boras told the Post-Dispatch.
