I know that when the Cubs sent Shawon Dunston to the minors in June that his salary was cut severly. Apparently his contract has different pay scales for the minors and the majors. Speaking of Shawon, the Cubs finally did what should have been done a while ago - axe Larry Bowa. Maybe they should have tried to trade him back to Philly and picked up another Sandberg (ala the Dejesus for Bowa and Sandberg deal). Another interesting not is that the Cubs AA shortstop Mike Brumley is tearing up the league. That puts a little more pressure on Dunston. -- James Cooper ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!wjnz "That's when I reach for my revolver..."
