Casey Blake's Salary is Inadequate

Hi, I am Craig and I will also be contributing to this site.

Casey Blake signed a deal to stay with the Indians for $6.1 million dollars, but let's put that in perspective.

That's $1.525 million per position that he plays with exceptional mastery. (3B, 1B, RF, LF) And imagine what that figure would look like if Eric Wedge would stop pussying out and let Blake pitch this season.

$6.1 million is a bargain for Blake because he is such a good teammate. If the Indians had a Casey Blake filling every position on the Indians' roster, the team chemistry would be so good it might make the world go to shit, much like what happened when they introduced sex into the culture in the movie Pleasantville.

$6.1 million is a bargain for Blake because of his amazing beard. He only lets it get full toward the end of the season because a full season of Casey's beard would lead to jealousy to the point that opposing pitchers would pitch around him just so he wouldn't be able to get a hit. Casey doesn't step to the plate to take a walk (obviously,) so he only breaks out the beard late in the season.

But seriously, $6.1 million is a bargain for Casey Blake and everyone knows it.

Witness Casey Blake.
