Ron Washington on with Norm

by Brandon Wilson on Sep 21, 2007 12:11 PM CDT

Q from Norm: "Do you want Vicente Padilla back next year?"

A from Ron: "I don't think I have a choice in the matter, like you said he still has 2 years and $22 million left on his contract."

Now Ron is not known for giving the "right" answer (which is this case would have been "yes, we can't wait to have him back next year and turn it around to have a year like he did in 2006"), but by not giving the "right" answer here it sounds like he doesn't want him back. Even if you are not excited to have him back there are things you can say besides "I don't have a choice".

Ron said they tried to talk to Padilla after the game in Minn. about throwing "blooper balls", but Padilla would not speak to him or johnny douchebag after the game. I think Ron wants players that are willing to be part of the team and he doesn't feel that Vinny wants to be part of the team.

yep

in fact, maybe your signature should have Vicente Padilla instead of Mark Connor...

that question

Has no real right answer. if he says he wants him back then it's all bs. I think i like the answer he gave because its true. He has no choice in the matter. HOWEVER a remark like that drops any trade value he may have had even lower, but im guessing in baseball circles it wasnt a secret anyway

Can you please Look into getting a less funny signature? That's sarcasm, btw. - Sharky
