...if we can get someone to spend $8-10M over the next two years and send Figgy their way. That saves us $7-9M.
I think a lot of team are going to be very leery of him because of the 2nd year in that contract, however.
If he contines to bomb, you're stuck with a useless player in year two.
And there comes a point where the saving to the M's becomes so small that you may as well just keep him, in the outside chance that he does start the engine again. 
If we owe him 9 and 8, and you have to swallow 6 and 5 to trade him, it becomes a near thing if the $3M difference isn't just to little to move him...unless you get something decent in return, which is unlikely.
Plain and simple, Z whiffed on the Figgins signing.
Downtown Brown shooting 18%?  I think he does that shooting lefthanded while seated on the bench.
