Everyone who knows me, knows I’m a Yankee fan. Well news today is that Aaron Boone hurt his knee playing basketball and could be out the ENTIRE season. What a big bust he has turned out to be. Other than the one home run off Wakefield, this guy has been pretty worthless…and now this.

That brings me to my real question. How much control should a team have over one of their investments? I mean, should the Yankees have to pay him a salary this year? I’ve heard of a lot of strange things being written into athletes contracts, but how far is too far? Then again, that is a huge investment to pay these athletes without a safety clause and it truly is a business now days.
