CC tells Gerrit his experience being a Cali guy playing in the Bronx - CC moved his family to Jersey & made their home here while not forgetting his roots in Cali. Bet Cole has spoken to players/friends on the other interested teams - he's gathering & processing their input before the teams begin the bidding war. As C says offer him the most $$$$$ and he will most likely sign. Is the third time a charm? First he chose college over signing a Yankee contract; then Pittsburgh wanted a ransom (Torres +) from the Yankees while settling for chips from Houston. Let's see if the desire to wear pinstripes tugs at his heart strings or will he become a hired arm for the hightest bidder????
