I've had some great discussions lately with guys whose careers ended, from their points of view, prematurely. When a baseball career ends, there are two ways to look at it.

When I first started seeing rumors about the fact that the Nationals might be looking...

So that media thing might not happen today or might. I don't know if it will be available to us or what but if you want to be completely annoyed and listen to both Mark Shapiro and Eric Wedge's conference call with the Tribe Scribes, go here.The reason I say annoyed is because there is an incredibly frustrating...
