Doug is interested in landing Suppan with the same prospective success rate as my interest in "landing" Angelina Jolie. That said, where is this supposed wizard investment banker with all of his creative finance options?... shouldn't Mark A be getting one of those 8 figure Goldmann Sachs-type bonuses this time of year? how about... 4 years / 60M ? signing bonus = $12M 2006: 7M 2007: 7M 2008: 17M (Gallardo, Villenueva) 2009: 17M (Inman, Jackson) Rolling the dice on a 35 - 20 stretch and most any large market team would take him on for the last 2 years. He comes to Milwaukee, but you are really *only* on the hook for 26 million. Might restore some of that waning "faith in winning" sentiment and fill the place up.
