I have to go with Kim.  Brown , Barros, Minor, and Ellison have all had
their chances and have not responded.  We need to quit blaming M.L. and
everyone else. These players are professionals with a job to do no matter
how bad the team sucks,  or who the coach is.  We sucked real bad and both
Wesley & Fox still played the best they could. (it could have been that
they knew their contracts were up but the others know they will get paid
regardless of whether they step it up or not )  When you hear about Pervis
delaying a flight for an hour and comes nonchalantly prancing in with his
golf clubs, it shows he is not a professional.  They should have left
without him, fined him and made him pay his own charter.  Unfortunately due
to poor business decisions we are stuck with these bums unless RP can
unload them.
