Goodbye Billy Mueller, Yankee Killer

Mueller has signed with the Dodgers.

Thank you thread on the Sons of Sam Horn choked me up. Another one of the 25 is gone, the one who got the hit after the stolen base in the game that changed everything.

Bill Mueller is the kind of player that Jim Bowden will never ever ever ever sign. Mueller was a free agent having come off a season in which he had an OBP of .350 and a slugging percentage of .393. The year before that, his OBP was .403 and he slugged .448. Those are really good numbers, and they are the numbers that matter when judging talent. The Red Sox signed him for about $2 million a year, the same amount Alfonzo Soriano will earn every 30 games to make outs for the Nationals.
