The Top Ten Best Things About Releasing Andruw Jones and Paying Him Over Time Are...

No. 10: They Just Put it on Ned Colletti''s Visa Bill and Ned gets to keep all those airline miles!

No. 9: Andruw Jones gets to keep that personal chef for the next 6 years

No. 8: Now Torre has a place to play Pierre EVERY day!

No. 7: Raygu's blogging at Fake Teams is going to be awesome when Andruw signs with SF, hits 50 bombs, and the Giants win the NL West...all on the Dodgers dime!

No. 6: Raygu - I will pay your league entry fee if that happens.

No. 5: No more of that LA salad crap...Hopefully he goes back to Hotlanta where a steady diet of BBQ brings back his svelte figure.

No. 4: Dodgers now qualify for TARP money from the Treasury.

No. 3: Free to play Obama's fat ass cousin in a biopic

No. 2: ...which is what he played like last year. Do the Braves really want him to play like warm number one?

And the best thing about releasing Andruw Jones and paying him over time is....

No. 1: There is no 'I' in team and, and as the Dodgers said to Mr. Jones, there is no 'you' in our future <i>and by the way, as far as I know, there is no 'u' in Andruw anyway.</i>
