If I understand right the new Walla Walla owner is on board. I'm sure he and Zev will introduce him shortly.
I was thinking about those enormously poor middle relief signings the computer manager made last week. $10MM, almost, per year for two middle relievers. I'm thinking it might be a nice gesture to maybe toss those two contracts back into the hopper. Without some communication issues David would have been on board prior to the signings and likely, though not certainly, withdrawn the offers.
Disclaimer: I am a personal friend of David's and feel like I should look out for him. It's a habit.
Welcome David to the league. I personally think it is a whole lot of fun playing David vs. Goliaths.
ReplyDeleteI have no problm with voiding the 2 MR contracts. I agree with Nate on this one, no reason to let him start off with this disadvantage.
Instead of voiding them, which is likely to be a pain in the rear for Zev, why not just cut the yearly salaries in half or by a third, or whatever's fair? That way, he still gets the guys (who are reasonably good), but doesn't have to pay the computer-initiated contracts.
ReplyDeleteWhatever compensation is given is fine with me, but this strikes me as the easier solution.
Both suggestions sound reasonable to me.
