An honorable athlete?!! A rare sighting
Tsuyoshi Nishioka of the Twins- signed a 3 year 9mil deal to come over from Japan....was supposed to be solid on defense and a good contact hitter.........wasn't projected for much power, but expected to hit .280 and steal 20 bases or so.
He struggled both on defense and offense last year, didn't fare a lot better in AAA all this year. But....in a twist you would NEVER see an American athlete do, he has not only asked for his release, but will not accept the 3mil salary he would be due for next year or even the $250,000 buyout saying he didn't perform even up to his own expectations, and didn't want money he wasn't earning. In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi, "What the hell is going on around here?"

Nachos are just tacos that don't have their s_it together. I'm not adding this year to my age because I really didn't use it. Ever notice that extra fries and exercise sound a lot alike?
