If Dan Uggla followed Whitner's lead, he would Dan Ggla. - David Oct 3, 09:10 10
- you think his drop this season was PED related? -- nm - groiny Oct 3, 09:13 8
  - I honestly don't know. His eyesight had gotten so bad that the team wanted him to have Lasik in spring training. - David Oct 3, 09:18 7

        I loved that contract even though I wasn't crazy about the signing. Now, $15M annually seems catastrophic. - David Oct 3, 09:29
- The way he hits, he should drop the last two letters -- nm - amoxy Oct 3, 09:11
