Bobbbbbb, the owners talk. All the time.

I'm in the prayer group hoping he takes less money and the Giants sign him. So far hasn't worked in the CA Lottery but I am ahead in the just concluded GG Fields Fall session.

On Pillar perhaps there is some back story. In MLB word spreads fast.

I wonder about that.  I'm thinking Occam's Razor.  Pillar hit 21 HRs -- in 645 plate appearances.  He had the second worst on base percentage in the NL.  He ranked 12th out of 14 centerfielders.

Scout projects Pillar to be the #82 ranked outfielder next year.  They're projecting 18 HRs, 67 RBIs, 65 runs, 18 walks, 13 SBs if he plays 158 games.

And he'll be 31.  I think the answer is simple.  He wasn't worth $10 million.  A 1.0 WAR is worth about $3 - $4 million on the open market, and certainly not $10 mms.
