Hey I like Bobby Scales's story, but every time I saw him penciled in as the starting LF for the Cubs, I cringed. Most minor league vets get a minor cup of coffee and I think the karmic gods paid Scales back enough. You'd think a team with resources like the Cubs could've scared up some left fielder to try out.

I never did get a clear idea on why Scales got more at-bats than Jake Fox or Micah Hoffpauir or _someone_ in September.

Do you think it would be overly unkind to Brian Sabean to point out that Bobby Scales gave the Cubs more offense in his limited stay than the Giants got out of the new $6 million dollar man, Freddy Sanchez?

You add in a three million dollar premium to any contract with the "proven veteran" label.
