I understand the point. And yes, Tsao was let go because of the very high risk that he will never be healthy again for an extended period of time.

But as Heltonfan pointed out when it happened, Tsao actually has a minor league option left. Sure, it would've cost the Rockies more to hang onto him since he was (weirdly, given all the time he's been on the DL) arbitration eligible. Maybe it would've cost $700,000 as opposed to a minimum salary guy ($400,000).

Wait a minute. "Seven hundred thousand dollars" seems to ring a bell.

Oh. I know. That's what the Rockies guaranteed John Mabry.

Now you see what I'm talking about.
