Phoenix is a beautiful city with many things to do outside of baseball.
I ended up skipping a week on the column due to work and home commitments. Sorry about that. Last time I mentioned the fact that Brian Hunter might soon be looking for a new job, and sure enough, the Mariners have released the speedy but offensively ineffectual outfielder. Not bad for a months worth of work. Hunter was quoted as saying that the Mariners let him go because of his salary.
