And that's been an issue.

You know, guys just simply, you know, this is not the 1990s when everybody wanted to play here.

You could earn more money.

They were loaded up with teams.

So are with players, elite players.

So I think that's an issue as well, even if they're like they never really had a chance at any of the top players last summer.

They were all spoken for before.

And a couple of them didn't even take their phones.

Yeah, I mean, Willie Huber certainly in my childhood, too, was a player that everybody talked about.

You know, back then he was a rarity because he was a very big guy who had an offensive touch.

And, you know, he just wasn't a physical player.

And the expectation, and it's still true today, if you're a big guy, they expect you to hit.

They just had Elmer Soderblom here in Detroit, 6'8 guy, and he just didn't hit.

And ultimately, they've shipped him off to Pittsburgh, who has gotten more out of him than Detroit did, frankly, over the last few weeks.

So, yeah, Huber was probably my earliest memory of a fan base sort of turning on a guy and wishing he were gone because he just wasn't the player that they wanted him to be.

They wanted him to use all that size.

And

You know, he just didn't do it.

Heck of a nice man.

I got to know him through the years.
