Bobby Bonilla = Genius (Never thought I would say that about a Met player)

Mike Sielski of the Wall Street Journal notes that starting exactly one year from today the Mets will begin paying Bobby Bonilla an annual salary of $1.2 million ... for the next 25 years.

Bonilla is 47 years old, has been retired since 2001, and hasn't played for the Mets since 1999, but when they bought out the remaining $5.9 million on his contract in January of 2000 they agreed to defer payment at eight percent interest.

Hooray Steve Phillips!

This is still a better move than cheating on his wife with that fat pig.

Haha awesome, he must have been OK for money when he retired (well all these guys should be) but he must have been smart and knew he could wait those extra years.
