LOL. Another ex Cardinal, Nelson Briles did.

October 19 1967

There is a 5.0 star FA this year, 29 yo 1B Willie McCovey. He wants $3.2m/7yr AAV $457k starting $380k increasing to $464k. LF Lou Brock age 28 is 4.0 stars. He wants $3.4m/10 yr $336k AAV starting at $360k declining to $320k.

The other four star players are Mickey Mantle and... ready?... Milton Hite. SS Luis Aparicio and 2B Pete Rose are 3.5 stars and everyone else is 3.0 and below.

C Tim McCarver signed for a year and $260k. I couldn't get him to go any longer. No wonder StL wanted him gone. Big money for one year only for a team that's not a contender.

I decided to withdraw the arb offer on Al McBean. He'll be a FA.
