I tend to be in the "baseball is a business" camp and understand when management lets someone walk, but
In this case, regardless of what he might bring to the table next year, sign this guy, keep him in the fold, make him one of our own instead of diluting his career and our memories of him with one last season in Philly or, heh, heh, Tampa.
Let this guy go out (if he does go out...I have suspicions that if 2008 were a productive year you might just see him looking for another 1 year deal) with a B on the hat.
That's the way it should be.
