Yep... saw that. If he's looking for a payday-building season, it does
make
more sense to play in a hitter's park, and AL games tend to be higher
scoring anyhow, so it gives him opportunities to build up some numbers.
I doubt he'll find quite as positive and accomodating a clubhouse
atmosphere
as they have here.
Good luck, Milton.
