Let's see....Corran Horn said:So much money offered for a pitcher thats gone 26-22 over last 2 years and lost 2 world series games... :lol
After being burned by Zito...GL with this
CC doesn't like batting leadoff, I know strange huh. I doubt he bats leadoff with the Red Sox as wellBlackace said:Why would you have Crawford batting 2?
I agree. 7 years is too long for a pitcher. It's too risky.Corran Horn said:Shrug. Have fun. Everyone makes him out to be this magical pitcher who never loses. No player should be making fucking 7 years for that much. Dude is going to get wrecked and all year Im going to hear whines about his contract :lol
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-KIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Mets will hire Dave Hudgens to be their next hitting coach.
In addition, Mookie Wilson will be named the first base coach, Jon Debus will become the bullpen coach, and Ken Oberkfell will be Terry Collinss bench coach.
Sharp said:Let's see....
Using wins as a measure of pitching ability... check.
Citing two losses and ignoring the other seven wins... check (because we should expect good pitchers to go 9-0 in WS games I guess).
Thinking Zito was ever on the same level as Lee... check.
The Lee deal will be absurd, but it will still be a far better deal than Zito's.

A more industrious person than I would go look up the mean/median team worth through the years, and compare the PV to these contracts. See if it's going up in relation to team worth.Windu said:It's amazing how much baseball contracts have gone up over the years. The Maddux deal was 5/28 which would be only $42,379,986 today.

Bonds in 93 had a 6 year deal at $43.75 million ($66.5 million in today's dollars) which was record setting back then. Can't imagine what he would've gotten in today's market.Windu said:It's amazing how much baseball contracts have gone up over the years.

I really liked what Craig C said about getting an authentic jersey altered to say "Mystery" where the team name should be. I'd be all over that.vas_a_morir said:Oooohhhh! Mystery Team! Lolz, totally going to be the Yanks.
I bet the Mystery Team is the Cubs. Vastradamas has spoken.

AnEternalEnigma said:Heyman says mystery team's offer only has 5 guaranteed years, so that pretty much knocks them out.

Willie Mays would've made an insane amount of money in today's market.CygnusXS said:Now that's progress.
The Frankman said:This Sandy Alderson vs. Mike Francesa interview is amazing. Fatcesa is almost trying to bait Alderson into telling Mets fans they will suck for 2 years. Alderson is saying they won't. Alderson said he thinks there's reason for some optimism and that obviously Mike doesn't think so and laughed sarcastically.
I need to re-listen to this later, he's going to have callers talk to Alderson soon. :lol
No way it takes two years. There's way too much money being shed after 2011 for them not to be decent in 2012. And there really is reason to be optimistic for this season, it just depends on everyone being healthy...so on second thought I guess not.captmcblack said:Two years is way too long for them to get respectable again.
I was hoping the Mets would get to 2006/2007 level where they can contend and play decent enough baseball to disappoint spectacularly. That is when the Mets - and MLB-GAF - is most fun. :lol
still hearing rumblings of 3rd team in lee mix. word is offer much lower than NYY's, but it's also a place lee loves
