Ranking seventh on the list is their top draft choice from a year ago, pitcher Zach Lee ($3.4 million).

Since he was a topic of considerable interest on this board last year, I thought some of you would be interested in this development.

I hope he got a nice lump sum up front. From the sound of it the Dodgers won't be able to field much of a team after Thursday.

We got room for another QB prospect. Welcome back home, Mr. Lee.

Odd that his bonus wasn't paid up front.

Honestly if I were Lee's parents and I had a sound financial grasp of the shite heap of financial trouble the Dodgers were in, I'd have said to go to college. And that's being realistic. It's like someone with a 415 credit score trying to convince me to give them a loan. Sure Zach how does 5.4 mil sound? We'll just pay that in the next four years if you can wait. I swear our books are straight once Frank McCourt pays 3/4 of the clubs profits and operational money to his fuggin ex wife.

It amazes me how many football players who pass on LSU or get kicked off the team end up with things not working out. I'm mainly talking about the athletes who want to play at LSU or who have played.

The Dodger situation was a known variable when Lee signed with them.

I always heard that, as soon as the Dodgers missed payroll, MLB would pick up the tab, take control of the Dodgers and look to sell.

Does the bankruptcy do away with this plan?

I'm glad the QB situation is fixed.. probably for the better, and we don't have to give a shite about Zach Lee anymore.

Filing for bankruptcy doesn't mean the corporation stops operating or paying the bills, basically it means everything has to be approved by a judge. He'll probably still get paid although it's certainly possible the check will be delayed.
