We all know there's no "I" in "team." But, if you know anything about Bret Boone, there's certainly a "me." According to the NY Times, Boone said he would only play second base and wouldn't consider being a bench player.

"When I start moving around positions, that's when I know it's time to really go home," Boone told the newspaper.

I just don't understand this mentality. It should boil down to whether you want to play or not. If you're in camp on a minor-league deal, how much leverage do you really have? Even if Boone makes the team, I don't think he'll last a month in New York.

UPDATE! Well, that didn't last long...
