We previously reported on how OF Héctor 'Dominator' Cruz departed the Charlotte Cougars in a very odd manner, with Charlotte GM Brett Golden calling Cruz a moron. Let's take a look at another moron that recently left the Charlotte Cougars, 1B/DH Rashardo 'Skull' Menne III.
Cruz, you may recall (if you dont want to go back and read the link) would not discuss an extension with the Cougars but decided to ask about an extension following the end of the Landis Series, when he was technically, officially a Free Agent. Menne was not quite that stupid. Instead, the oft-injured Menne decided to turn down a $15M Player Option - you know, cause he wasnt getting to play as much as he wanted - and become a Free Agent as well. Menne felt he could be a star player still, an every day starter, and make the "big bucks."
How'd that work out for him? Well, he signed a 2-year, $13.5M contract with the Beirut Cedars. The first year is at $6.5M with the second year being a Player Option for $7M. That's a pretty good payday for a guy with mounting, longer-term injuries that can basically only hit right-handed pitching.
Good luck Rashard! I'd advise you to exercise your player option at the end of the season!

Guarantees for this season - he'll crush RHP. He can steal a ton of bases still (lead the JL in 2044). And, he'll get hurt.

I'm really hoping Pedro Rocha is as moronic as your guys and opts out of his player option this season. He could probably pitch in the UMEBA, granted, for far less money than he's making now.
