    At least he's crying in his mugshot. Or it looks like he tears. He should feel bad...

    Honestly that contract isn't that bad, 6.5 per year isn't awful as far as throw away contracts go these days.

    Make no mistake its obviously a waste of resources, but the only saving grace with Olive right now is that the Dodgers absorbed half his contract.

    The average annual salary isn't terrible. The length of time we're committed to him, what we gave up to get him, and how bad he looks are all much worse.

    kinda ironic with Kobe being celebrated like he is today.
    The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.

    The trade looks awful right now, that's not debatable. I'm just saying the salary isn't much of an albatross, even stretched out the way it is.

    I've started thinking more about the circumstances surrounding this. It's about 6 AM on a Wednesday morning and doesn't appear that Hector had been to bed yet and had allegedly been drinking. Even without the alleged assault, that's not really what I want to see from a player. You've got a contract paying you tens of millions of dollars. Just go to bed. If you want to drink all night and not go to bed until daybreak, save if for the offseason. Or better yet, save it for when you retire.

    I'm not saying players have to go straight to the hotel after the game and go to bed. Just behave a little more responsibly.

    I wonder how Bobby's DV incident would have been handled if it were today.

    Give him a few of AJ's Michelob Ultras and I think that's all the convincing he needs.

    If I were in charge I would not cut cut Hector because of this. That's being to kind to him. If he gets cut he walks away with 30 million and will be picked by another team quickly at league minimum. What kind of punishment is that.
    I would send him down to the most miserable level of the minor leagues and make him play his way back up. Future conduct would be a big factor in his progression. He needs to prove himself worthy of a spot in the team

    I wonder if this type behavior was the reason he left winter league ball early.

    A few years ago one of our top prospects that had fallen out of favor was sent to the lower minor leagues to switch from 3B to pitcher. His name was Van Pope. He went down. Got caught with team mates underage drinking. Bye bye Van Pope. The Braves do not want that kind of negativity near the developing players.

    I guess I never knew that about Pope. I thought his career ended because he sucked.

    It's a different era, but the Casey Stengel quote still stands: "The trouble is not that players have sex the night before a game. It's that they stay out all night looking for it."

    Coincidentally, I just ran across this crazy post from yesterday in a comics forum that I frequent:

    But I don't see where Bourn would play. I'd rather give Mallex time to figure it out if we aren't gonna win anyway.
