I will believe it when the season in 23 is over and he didn't play. The bug will get him over the summer and SF will call but he has said that when he sucks he will quit and he sucked. He duck and dodged hits all year causing his throws to be early or in the dirt so maybe his body finally had enough. [Reply]
