Gil Meche with the Royals is walking away from $12 million for the right reason.
It's good to see that some players still have integrity and honor.
$12 million price tag

Yes, agree! However, it is easier to do the "right thing" when you have already earned $50mil thru baseball!
The Royals manager fried his arm off, he was entitled to it, but only if he went through with the operation (remained on the roster) and in reality, at 32 who actually needs to have shoulder surgery to stay in the game, even for 12 million.
The Royals have so much young talent, in pitching and in the field, they kind of need to get their act together, somehow.

Yes Prime, and followed by that the author went on to say...."But how often do we complain about an athlete picking up a paycheck when he's not earning it?
And how easy would it have been for Meche to trot himself out to spring training, go on the disabled list a short while later and spend one more year cashing pay stubs bigger than what some Americans make in a lifetime?"
I agree with YoungGunDad, Meche is leaving the game with integrity and honor.
