So is this recent?

or is this what he was put on the dl for to begin with?

Yeah this is his initial injury

Which no one in the world believed, for good reason, but it does seem like its legit by now.

Nice excuse

Hopefully it will hold up for awhile.

Rest of the year?

Too bad the Mets can’t have insurance for ‘stupid contracts’ ugh.

I'm not positive

But I imagine they managed to insure at least part of Ollie’s contract.

Wilpon should have just given the $36 million to Bernie Madoff

Same result, quicker and less painless.

Seriously

I knew it would be a bad idea, but holy shit. This turned out really ugly really quickly.

F.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

I'm assuming insurance does cover this injury, as it wasn't pre-existing.

Perhaps the money “saved” here will allow the team to add a little more payroll if need be.

I’m reaching far for the silver lining in this. Oh, and at least he won’t be pitching!

by All Shook Down on May 31, 2009 1:05 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah that's what I'm thinking

I mean, the Wilpons will still probably be iffy about the luxury tax line, but if anything it’ll be more money to play with once Ollie’s contract comes off the books, by the time that happens the luxury tax threshold will be quite a bit higher anyway.

Yeah it's supposed to get pretty high next season

So I’m hoping the Wilpons will be a little looser with the purse strings.

by Gina on Jun 2, 2009 1:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

Its a predefined structure. It increases by a certain amount each year that was set by the CBA a few years ago. ESPN says it’ll be $170 mil next year, so that’s a solid $8 mil jump. It’d probably allow the Wilpons to feel comfortable to push payroll to the low $160 million range, if that is indeed their greatest concern. The current CBA only runs through 2011 though. I can’t imagine they’ll shake things up too much though after that anyway.

how long before they resort to

just “disappearing” him?

John Franco is already casing Ollie’s hotel room.
