great, he can throw a "gyroball" but he has not done anything for peace, cured cancer or anything that really helps mankind other than keeping the yankees out of the playoffs (which he has not accomplished, yet)

"the Boston Red Sox bid $51.1 million for the rights to negotiate a contract with him"... they paid that much JUST to be able to negotiate... that's insane. They could give me enough to pay off my house and I'd talk to them!

When was the last time you 'did anything for peace, cured cancer or anything that really helps mankind?'

At least he can throw a gyroball!

So the guy gets paid. It's it the athlete's fault for someone paying him that amount of money?

Who's pathetic actually?

51.1 million $ is patetic just for the right to hold contract talks. I honestly cant believe someone will pay that kind of money for the "right" to negotiate.
