well that gives us roughly what .007 Percent of what we need to pay CC for his contract we offered

Don't forget this clears a spot off of the 40 man roster. For rule 5 protection and other reasons. -Jitpal

Wow, it's just like that movie Mr. Baseball! Except this time the player always sucked.

This also lacks the scene where Tom Selleck can't find a toilet to take a crap in when he's in Japan. It's a lot less funny without that scene. In fact, this is like a sad, sad drama.

Mostly for us. Except for the part where we got rid of Rasner.

Ah, Good movie. Well, not really, but I loved the scene where he beans him, and selleck yells at him to tip his cap.

Its good to see that the yankees comply with what Rasner wished for. He wanted to go to Japan for a few years so he could make more $$$. So its a good move for Ras, since he'll prob make like 2m over there. The yankees get 1m towards CC or whomever, clear up a 40man spot to protect someone for now, and its nice to know that the yankees would do such a thing for someone.

as for Mr. baseball, i totally forgot about that movie until you guys said something lol to similar
