Default Absurd

Alex, I agree I cannot see how this would work out for either the Marlins or Giancarlo ....who seems like a good guy, and he's obviously talented, but we've seen a hundred contracts with inflated value go wrong, and essentially none that have paid off.
The Fish will be forced to field another ordinary roster around him.Last I checked no one can win a baseball pennant by themselves.
Stanton won't like losing baseball games due to lesser supporting cast members, and the fans won't buy a new Stanton jersey, t-shirt, poster or mini-bat every game. I just cannot see the business case for guaranteed money to this extent.

Oh well, when will these owners learn? Who cares..it's their money
