You think steroids is a problem, some Puresim players are actually smoking crack!! I'm reviewing the players in my 2010 Marlins squad who are on the last year of their contracts. I happen to come across Paul Byrd who I signed for a bargain-basement price of $50,000. He was originally signed with the intention of being a backup-to-the-backup starting pitcher, so it was never the plan for him to go to the majors. However, I have a few promising young starters that I did not want to disrupt in AAA or AA so I placed Byrd in Single-A. If he doesn't like it, tough gazungas- I pay more for dry cleaning than he's getting in a year. Anyway, playing with the Sinlge-A Jupiter Hammerheads, Paul Byrd is... >gulp< ... 1-10 with a 3.86 ERA. Ouch. Well, just to see what he would ask for an extension, I click on the button and... GASP!. He's smoking crack!!!! I'm sorry, but you can't agree to a 1-year, $50-thousand dollar contract, go 1-10 with a 3.86 in SINGLE-A and then have the foul BALLS to ask for $3.8-million dollars for a 1-year extension. If he's not smoking crack, he should be.
