He may not want to be a hero, but he’s mine. Link it:
Can we have more Gil Meche clones made and distributed liberally across the globe? He signed a $55 million dollar contract before injuring his shoulder. He can’t pitch, but would be paid anyway just to sit on the injured reserve and heal up, to the tune of $12 million.
But he walked away from the game. If he can’t perform at a high level, he shouldn’t get paid. His words, not mine. And they are very refreshing in this world of ridiculous sums of cash being tossed around at athletes.
There’s no guarantee he would ever be as good as he was even if he healed. He’s hurting, the money could pay a healthy player, so he moved on.
Good for you. And best of luck in whatever you do.
