Scott ElkinsI think even those of us who are siding "against" Mientkiewicz on this agree he has a right to the ball (at least I do). The only problem I had is that he was "childish" enough to state more or less he only wants the ball to profit from it. He could have handled the situation much better and I think more people would have been on his "side", instead of coming right out and stating the money factor - I guess he feels that .215 average might not land him a contract with any team next year!?!?
