5) Previous manager had problems with the guy's hustle etc.

6) Player's father was once quoted as saying something to the effect of " play hard, but don't play too hard."

7)A player known for having a low average, but high number of home runs, was a perfect fit for a stadium that is tough to get the ball out of.........NOT!!

36 million, get it right
