Surprised that Oakland shelled out 8.5M for Piazza.

I think he'll have success without the wear and tear of catching and he'll have a longer season. I'll be rooting for him.

Way to go Mikey! I will always root for a guy who embodies the principles of hard work, class, and a genuine love for the game.
