He's not very popular because fans are hypocritical. They crave honesty from their athletes and then crucify them when they don't produce stupid cliches and platitudes to the media. CJ is a unique, thoughtful guy with a great baseball story, and the fact that this baseball community has turned on him makes me sad.

I guess man. Why pay 15 mil a year for a pitcher who plays terri-bad in the playoffs when there are so many good pitchers in the farm system. Say what you want about "CJ's awesome honesty" (he certainly isn't innocent of being a hypocrite), he's going to want too much money for the talent he offers.

Not wanting to overpay him is not the same as the joy you expressed at CJ no longer being on the team.
