Surely you jest.

This is MLB. Teams die to pick up guys with "potential" and claim them as reclamation projects. It happens year after year with high priced guys. Same in basketball. There's always dumb GM's out there who think they can turn around a players career. Buerhle is doing great and plays deep into games. They'd be no shortage of guys who'd line up for him. Reyes is a good player when not injured. Even at $18M or whatever, they'd be a handful who'd be glad to have the package he brings.
