Scott,
Are you a Mariner fan? This doesn't bode well:

"I'd rather sit on the bench in Seattle where my kids are," Cirillo told the newspaper, "than sit in New York without my family around me."
Asked if he saw a release coming, Cirillo told the paper, "It's a big check to write." Cirillo is still owed $15.125 million on his contract.
"My intention is to go to camp and play the best I can for Seattle, but I can't see myself walking through the Mariners' door in spring training, and I told them that," he told the paper. "You're trying to win a championship and, especially with new guys on the team, you don't need the distraction.
Personally, for $15.125 million, maybe he could find a way to avoid being "the distraction" on a team trying to win a championship.
Cirillo sounds like the Terrell Owens of Seattle baseball. What has happened to pro sports?
