There are two methods, or means, and only two, whereby man's needs and desires can be satisfied. One is the production and exchange of wealth; this is the economic means. The other is the uncompensated appropriation of wealth produced by others; this is the political means.

Posts: 418 Mar 15 12 9:25 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	So the RailCats added Jason James. He's a very solid hitter who should do very well. They also traded James Baker. I don't like this trade and see no logic in it. This is from the 'Cats press release: "Baker, a right-handed pitcher, was sent to Somerset in the Atlantic League for cash considerations." What is with this "cash considerations" buisness? I get worried when I see that. It leads me to believe that there may be a financial problem somewhere. Otherwise, why wouldn't we get someone who can actually pitch or hit?

I agree, I'd rather see real people on the field than dollar bills in the front office. But if Somerset wanted to buy Baker's contract and the price was right, I guess that's how they do business. Any word on our closer candidates? Shipman probably won't be back.

Maybe Baker was allowed to head east because that's where he's from, and he may have wanted to play closer to home. Otherwise, I would have loved to see him stay with the Cats as he really came into his own last year. We still need a closer and a few starters. Actually, there are going to be a lot of new faces and the Cats need help everywhere in the rotation and in the bull pen. I hope some of the new faces work out. Jason James is a good hitter, and will probably be a solid addition. I'm sorry to see Boyer go, but he'll probably get a better shot at climbing back up into affiliated ball, if he's still young enough. There are two methods, or means, and only two, whereby man's needs and desires can be satisfied. One is the production and exchange of wealth; this is the economic means. The other is the uncompensated appropriation of wealth produced by others; this is the political means.
