Mr. Thome, your best chance to make the Hall of Fame is to rip up your contract and go back to Cleveland.

Sign a year by year deal for 7.5 million (plus generous incentives) and the combination of playing 140 games, (30 of them as DH) will give you the seasonal rest you need to still contribute.

What's more important, the extra 30-35 million you will make in Philly, or returning to Cleveland and becoming a Hall of Famer!
