re jack morris in apr stsci edu sandoval stsci edu writes ok roger here s a question for you say you are running an expansion team you don t have a team at the moment but the draft is coming up who are you going to pick guys who have won the most ws rings or guys who could contribute the most to your team say the reds were dumb enough to not protect larkin and the jays didn t protect alfredo who would you pick for an expansion team i m pretty sure i would go with the rings as long as their salaries and ages weren t too high i would want the fans to be able to identify the players i would like a championship attitude in the clubhouse as for larkin and griffin salaries aside i would have to consider which player is likeliest to contribute to a ws victory past performance age and attitude would all be integral to my decision i certainly wouldn t just haul out my copy of gillete and pick larkin as many others would and unlike many others who post to this group i hardly consider myself quali fied to make those kinds of decisions i can t believe i m getting involved in this i have never been able to believe it about myself to tell you the truth it s like banging your head against a stone wall cordially as always maynard ramsey cs laurentian ca so many morons rm and so little time
