Absolutely. From a money standpoint, makes perfect sense. But i'm just 
saying, yer gonna have to remind yourself of this on occasion.....Coco's 
just not quite the player Damon is.

Coco doesn't exactly have a rifle. "Rag Arm" was our nickname for JD when he 
played here.

Jeter's one of those guys that would probably be my favorite (non Royal)

'em.
