Excellent
Now the only other thing I want to hear (well, two things now that I think of it) are that Greenberg will let baseball people run the team’s baseball operations, and that the team’s payroll will move up the ladder a rung or two.

Really?
Did anyone really think that Chuck Greenberg was going to acquire a controlling interest in the team, and then allow a minority owner to have a say in baseball decisions over Greenbery, Nolan Ryan and Jon Daniels?
That just doesn’t seem like news at all to me.

At least has to be in the running for 2009.

Thats why I am asking.....
I don’t know squat about the new groups or heard who would actually spend out of the group. I am just hoping we can go for FA’s instead of having to get rid of guys like Millwood just to sign a Harden.
