Had the Pirates found a taker for his services, Ryan would have had about 1.1 million options for a ride to the airport.<br /><br />I won't miss Maholm a shred. He's basically a replacement level pitcher to me. If he were right handed he wouldn't have a gig.<br /><br />That said, crazy talk like "let's bring in John Lackey somehow at 6 million!", which I saw mentioned someplace, isn't something I'd really want to see happening either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193838988599740109.post-26160593722475958982011-10-17T21:09:39.355-04:002011-10-17T21:09:39.355-04:00Paul Maholm?!

But the fact is, his salary ceiling is around $7M, not $9.75M.<br /><br />And Ryan Doumit? C'mon now, people. It's like everyone went to Dark City and the aliens reprogrammed their brains while they slept, thus they forget how much they don't like him.Dale Berra's Stashhttp://daleberrasstash.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193838988599740109.post-80948686888026131832011-10-15T21:07:36.864-04:002011-10-15T21:07:36.864-04:00Sooo....Wilbur has a salt-and-pepper beard? :)
I...Sooo....Wilbur has a salt-and-pepper beard? :)<br /><br />I'm basically with you here. Did a quick lap around the ol' watering hole earlier, after a week away, and I thought I'd fallen into July of 2010. Garments were being rent, the wearing of sackcloth had begun, etc. etc.<br /><br />I don't get the "rage" over Paul friggin' Maholm. The guy is NOT worth 9 million dollars. That cash would be better spent extending McCutchen, or even laying the foundation on the "Neil Walker Acadamey for Kids Who Want To Learn To Hit a Baseball Good And Do Other Things Good Too" down on Mexican War Street.<br /><br />I'm not saying I don't think it's possible that they just roll that 9 million up in a wad and slug it into the draft....but this is NOT some extinction level event for the '12-'14 seasons, brought about merely by passing on the services of Paul friggin' Maholm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
