I agree. He could have made more money.

I think we will definitely notice his absence. Watching him pitch for the Royals and Pirates, when Walt annouced his signing I was ecstatic. Many people thought I was nuts. He is a steady performer. That is a high compliment in my book. The baseball season, as we all know, is a long and hard road. To be consistent over a 162 season is difficult if not impossible. Suppan wasn't pretty, wasn't flashy, just took the ball got you innings, and for the most part kept you in the game. I think in 2007 we are going to miss that rock in the middle of the rotation.

I am glad as he moves on that his 2006 post season leaves good memories. In my eyes he will be one of the greatest players to wear the BoB in the unsung hero category.
