Yeah...had to see this coming. He doesn't want to be a 5th outfielder any more than we want to pay him $12M per over the next 2 years to be a 5th outfielder. ...
The Most Delusional Man On The Planet Gary Matthews Jris not a good baseball player. He’s also completely unaware of this. Here’s a quote from the LA...
It's situations like these when you really see how the recession is affecting Major League Baseball. Sure, guys like Sabathia, Teixeira, Burnett and Lackey...

I also think teams are tired of getting stung by contracts like this. You look at guys like Figgins, who all of a sudden became a .300/.400 hitter in a...
It's an interesting perdicament...and the bottom line is that front offices just have to do a better job of evaluating players. I don't think the long-term...
Here's a table showing the payroll commitments for all players on the 2009 roster.(hopefully it comes thru OK)Â There are assumptions as to what a player will...
The Angel payroll dropped $5.5M from 2008 to 2009 ($119.2M in 08, $113.7M in 09). The 2008 payroll was the highest in franchise history. The 2002 team won the...
Arte said for 2009 he was comfortable staying at the 2008 level - we just didn't spend it all. We can't compare the payroll of the 2002 team since it would...
I think you're pretty much on the right track...with one big exception. I really don't see any type of Roy Halladay deal going down, even if Lackey walks. I...
I think we do a deal for Halladay only if an extension is done in advance. All your points make sense too. The beauty of the hot stove! Message sent from my...
In your projected Yankee lineup, only Tex and Arod scare me. Everybody else just gets a year older. Matsui and Posada can barely hit now. Jeter is almost...
The deal is worth $19MM guaranteed. Abreu will be paid $9MM in 2010 and 2011, plus a $1MM buyout for a $9MM option that could vest based on plate appearances....
This is good. At least now we have a starting outfield under contract for 2010. Jeff Biggs put the question out the other day that if you could only have 1 of...
I would have to agree, Aaron. Always go after your most pressing need. I'm still sort of up in the air with Figgins but that depends on the deal length. ...
I think Aybar may even be better than Figgins in the leadoff spot given the chance. He's faster than Figgins, which gives him the ability to leg out weak...
Exactly my thoughts on Aybar! Abreu really helped him with discipline. Wasn't Loux released or am I confusing that with something else? I think escobar is...
Shane Loux was designated for assignment, but accepted the assignment and finished the season with the Bees...and on the 40-man roster. He'll be in camp...
I'm fine with the outfield situation as is. I'm also fine with letting Figgy go after another dismal postseason performance. But we need to get after Lackey....
totally expected move. Quinlan won't be back. Message sent from my mobile device. ... From: "donwhite581" <dwbmw@...> Date: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:13:11 ...
It will certainly be interesting to see how this plays out. It's impossible to predict. We can all voice what we think should happen, which is fun, but as we...
Yeah...you'll see Figgins, Escobar and Vlad all file in the coming days too. Filing for free agency is standard procedure when a contract expires and/or...
I would be absolutely shocked if Garret Anderson wasn't throwing out the first pitch of next season's first game for the Angels next year after he retires. ...
Someone will offer him a minor-league deal and invite him to Spring Training. It's just a matter of whether Garret accepts that. Seems to me he's the type of...
Well...this ends the question of wether DO will retire. The Angels should lock him up with a 1-2 year + option deal. He's been a real steadying force out in...
He's a type A which means a signing team gives up a first round pick to get him. Who does that for a 39 year old? No one unless he plays for more than one...
$4.5M/yr. may be a little high for a middle-releiver....especially because - as you said - he's a Type A free agent that would cost a potential buyer draft...
If he went to arbitration, he would get the max raise of $3.665m plus 20%........$4.4m. Just thought it made sense. shields will make over $5m. Message sent...
