I'm not "sad" to see Chacon go, because he really stunk the joint out this year, and Torre questioned his work ethic and attitude on more than one occassion. He did great things for us last year, and now that he's heading back to the NL, maybe he can turn it around, but he wasn't helping us. At least Craig Wilson could be a solid pinch hitter and utility player at nearly any position (including catcher).

They were just talking about this on Cold Pizza. I think I'd rather walk Ortiz and face Manny. I just think Ortiz is *better*. Both are nasty, but Big Papi is too clutch.
