And what ever players who do that should be traded. Manager>Player Players should abide by managers word and if manager decides he want's to fine people in certain situations, players should shut up and deal with it. I'm sick of the players running this team, you are a baseball player you're not paid to think, go ut and do what they tell you too.
For example Bill Mueller refusing to play second base. Who the hell is he to say where he plays or not. He is a not a third baseman, he is a baseball player. If he is told to go play second base for an inning or two, he should do as he's told.
Bottom line players shouldn't dictate what goes on with fines, and how the team is run. They should shut up and play baseball.
10-15 thousand is chump change for those guys, and fining them shouldn't make them any more or less agressive, it just forces them to keep thier head in the game. I'm also not saying fine them every time they get thrown out, I'm saying fine them every time they run into a STUPID out i.e Millar last night.
