I don't have a problem with Nomar,or Muellar.I have a problem with piss'n away 8 million or so(Muellar played a total of thirty some odd games..I will be charitable n' say we got 1 mil $ in work for what will end up being 9 mil that we gave him.)Now,we are attempting to repeat the same mistake with Nomar.Won't surprise me one bit if we get just 80 games played for the 18.5 mil/2 year guaranteed contract.)Irritates me when people repeat their mistakes like this.You can not give a guy (with various physical problems)
an 18.5/2 year guaranteed contract.I can not believe this G.M. is this stupid.I have no problem giving the guy this money,but he would have to stay injury free to get it.He has shown he can not avoid injuries.You gotta give him a base salary with incentives.I would not mind him making 15 mil salary+incentives/year if he were healthy enough to play the games.When he gets hurt,what's he gunna say? Sorry? That hip won't hold up.The legs won't hold up.It is an absurd contract.Could easily end up being an expensive bench coach.I will say I fully expect that will happen.I hope for different,but have nothing to base that hope on.HOPE(ALONE ) IS AN IMMATURE EMOTION.
