I 'm with you my man.  I've been a holik supporter always.  I realize his 
value to this team, & I'd love to see him retire here.  I hope the 
arbitration didn't drive a wedge between him & lou.  Then again, he has 2 
cups, like neids & might be ready to cash in elsewhere.  But even to his 
detractors here on the list, many teams will cough up big bucks  for him.  I 
agree w/ pete that if lou cant sign him long term in the next month or 2,, 
he'll trade him.
