http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slu...e&type=fantasyUpdate: On Friday, Piazza reiterated his desire to play for San Diego again next season, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Recommendation: He has an $8 million option for 2007 with a $750,000 buyout. The Padres are unlikely to pay Piazza that much, but he could return at a lower price. Piazza is experiencing a resurgence this season. His 22 homers lead all major league catchers, and are his personal best since 2002. He is hitting .279/.335/.504 with 64 RBI in 365 at-bats. If Piazza is a Padre in 2007, he will likely start four to six games per week, just like this year.
