Mark Buehrle is the absolute man! Awesome having a veteran presence like him on the squad. Just got all the young guys fitted for suits!

I feel like because of this the front office is going to be less inclined to trade Buehrle in the offseason. I think he is a great sell high and getting his contract off the books frees up a lot of cash that can help address other needs.

it's chump change for a guy making Buehrle's money.

 

nice gesture though

 

Which is why it's really f***ing stupid how it's customary in the MLB for the rookie to pay for everyone's meals when they go out.

 

Or they may even go with credit card roulette and the rookie lucks out.

 

Dirk wrote about it, I must wonder if he was forced to partake in that

If I were the highest paid player of the team I would pay for everyone.

 

Let's say on average the highest paid player on a team earns 10 million a year. After taxes, that's what, 7 million?

 

Let's say 25 guys go out on a dinner at a relatively expensive restaurant, like Chris Ruth's. A total meal could cost about $300. $300 x 25 is only 7500. Now I don't think players go out to eat 365 days a year, but let's say about 15 times. That's only 100,000 a year, or less than 2% of your salary.

 

And this assuming that the highest paid player pays for everyone.

 

Realistically, you would have different vets pay for meals, and not the whole 25 players would be going out to eat.

We can all wear our new suits to the wake.

Or, ya know, everyone could just pay for their own.

You actually feel the FO is going to give a s*** about him buying a few suits in terms of dealing him if the value is there or there's an option to dump his salary? They're dumb, but they're not that dumb. Even most of this board could get that one right.

For Buehrle it's equivalent to the average Canadian going out and buying a double double and an, egg, sausage breakfast sandwich for a buddy.

Lol it wasn't about him buying suits..More the vetrin presents that he provides with all the kids and the stability. I wonder what the return you could expect for MB? You might be able to play off that he will get a QO which would make his value even higher.

I was actually looking for a kids suit store and came up with that image.

 

Also could have gone with this one as I know you're old enough to know who this is. (Not dissing, I am too LOL)
