Thome's Decision:
There are reports that Jim Thome will make up his mind today whether he'll be an Indian or a Phillie for the forseeable future. I don't quite understand why there has been so little interest in him. As I've talked about before (here and here), there are a lot of poor hitting first basemen out there. Maybe teams think they have cheaper alternatives (which they should), but as far as I can tell, they don't take advantage of them. This lack of interest is another sign that teams are still in tight control of their purses, and that revenue sharing is not going to improving teams, but into the pockets of the owners.
