Talking contracts with my closer in the middle of the season and I wanted to sign him early before the prices go up. So we settle on a 1yr $11,000,000 deal. The very next day he gets smacked by a ball in the elbow and is out for a year with Tommy John Surgery. There should be a clause in contracts within 90 days of signings or say if something happens and that pitcher can't pitch then the contracts become null and void. I'm out this years 1/2 salary and next years 1/2 salary while he sits back on his duff and collects for doing nothing. This is highway robbery to a team owner. Something should be done about it. You don't play you don't get paid is my motto. Unions are a ripoff.
Prince Fielder is doing basically this very thing to the Texas Rangers getting hurt and out for the better part of the year with some silly injury like a hang nail. lol. Now, Yu Darvish is doing it to us. This is not fair to the owners of baseball and something should be done about it in contracts or clauses made if you don't play you don't get paid your full contract salary. Just survival money until you come back and play. Or at least just minor league money that they get for being on the 40 man roster.
I'm so sick of players feel they have this entitlement just because they have a contract. If they can't fulfill their side of the contract it should become null and void with other conditions and terms for injuries.
How can I go back and delete this injury?
I'll fix him. lol Frickin injuries are too high with this classic settings so I went back one level to low and still getting ridiculous injury numbers. Half my Rangers team is on the Disable list.
Wow just like in real baseball huh? lol I recently set it back to very low and hopefully will only have to deal with 1 or 2 injuries for a few weeks in the year.
