Maybe Alex needs to take the rest of the year off, maybe play some winter ball to get back into playing form, and see what happens. I hear the North American League is nice.
Yeah, he can’t take too much time off, he’s 41.
I wonder if we’ll take a look at him – we have a power drain and unfortunately a hole at first (which hurts me to say as I love Ohmatsu).
