So, in what may prove to be a new tradition, I brought out the 2006 World Series DVD and gave it a spin before opening day. And what I come away with is,

What the hell is Jeff Weaver thinking? He could have spent 2 more years with Dave Duncan and adoring crowds. Man that guy is dense.

Or maybe he's too smart for St. Louis?

Yeah I guess I know that. But the differences aren't that much - partiularly when you're already set for life by any reasonable standard. That extra money isn't going to buy him happiness.

It wasn't even so much the money thing that irked me with Weaver, it was that he said he wanted a long term deal with a competitive team... and then he goes and signs a one year deal with Seattle? Oh well.

I don't think any team was offering him a long term deal.
