Too much money is owed for Angelos to cut him.
Why? It's a sunk cost. You have to pay it anyway. You might as well have someone on the field who can actually play the game.

In addition to being completely inept at his job, the money CD is making is money we could (and SHOULD) have used to try and sign Manny.
I acknowledge that CD can't be blamed for taking the money. However, all I can think about when watching this atrocious player is that he likely cost us the ability to make a competitive offer to Manny. Cut him and cut him now.

I'm so glad we made Manny happy to the detriment of the team. I'm sure he'll repay the favor by re-signing here. <deep sigh>

We gave up a cost controlled asset at a position of need for a bag of balls. Was he great? No, but he was young, cheap, serviceable, and not standing in the way of any prospect.
I'm not mad because it gave me another reason to become a Braves fan. I'll likely not go to any more games or really follow this team at all until the black mark that is the Angelos clan sells the team. Why waste my money and mental capital on supporting one of, if not the, worst run organizations in professional baseball? Seems inane to me.
