Renteria's Lament (and Mine)
Did anyone else notice? Renteria's a good player again.
Edgar Renteria '06
AVG .313 | HR 9 | RBI 35 | OBP .392 | SLG .464
There also was an article on ESPN's site on how uncomfortable Renteria felt in Boston after fans took to calling him "Rent-a-Wreak." How ironic that Edgar left claiming that he wasn't respected in St. Louis. Good solution, Edgar.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that I don't like Eckstein. The guy's a baller, a true competitor. But he doesn't have Renteria's talent.
Maybe the Cardinals are better off not paying so many millions to Edgar. But I can't help thinking that Renteria's decision to leave was regrettable across the board. It also seems to me that a player's contract decisions are among the most important decisions they can make that influence whether or not they win a world series ring.
It's been said many times before, but I'll say it again: Renteria chose poorly.

No way...
even if
And there's the kicker
The management
if they had signed
that negotiation was a real fork in the road
