The answer is yes and yes. I started calling for JD just this year and you are correct...there are about a half dozen "decent" guys in his group. I consider myself among those. And yes most take their cash and want to get out as quick as possible. But that could be because most of the time its really bad baseball. And its awfully hot in July.
