I'm officially over Bailey.. I really can't wait till his contract expires. After this season they'll still owe him 48 MILLION bucks.. 2 more years left.. I could be worth at least $50,000 a year and pitch as good..and I probably couldn't reach home plate with my arm anymore.
You know..Reds fans could all chip in to pay off his contract, but I just don't envision 48 people chipping in a million bucks each..or 48 million people chipping in a buck each..  worst contract ever.. 

Bailey is an Aircraft Carrier Anchor attached to this 12 foot john boat of a franchise !

I the four+ seasons since the no hitter years of 12/13 he's gave us exactly 18 wins including 1 so far this season. His WAR hovers around -0.1 and each win has cost the Reds about 3.3 million dollars. He's slated to make 21 million this season. And 23 and 25 million over the next two.

At best he's a number 4 or 5 pitcher and he's making bank for throwing two no hitters in fairly short order. He's single handedly set this franchise back years !
