This is apparently what $500 an hour -- or whatever...

Jon Paul Morosi of foxsports.com posted an article Friday on the Scott Rolen trade, taking a jab at the leadership angle of the acquisition: I hope for the Reds’ sake that leadership wasn’t the biggest factor here. Otherwise, they could have signed veteran good-guy Tony Clark, who, as far as I know, is waiting for a [...]
