I call ********. Curt Schlling is starting up a video game company, where is he going to get the capital from that?
I really don't think Curt Schilling is going to walk away from $13 million. If he earns it, give it to him. If not, you can let go.
Why does the FO owe Schilling anything? They're in this business to make money, not invest in someone who can't get it done anymore. Anyone who has ever taken an accounting class knows what a sunk cost is. Investing in a Curt Schilling that pitches the way he did in the second half last year is a sunk cost.
I'm rooting for Schilling to do an excellent job this season. I just don't see why the front office owes anyone anything.
