how much would rich amaral make in todays market?

Imagine if we had that stud around still, what would his salary be in this day and age of steroid-free baseball.

theres a name from the past!!!

I jokingly call a coworker my companies Mark McLemore, cause he's always bobbing around from project to project. In the uber utility roll

I always like Alex Diaz more than Amaral, though the fact that Rich chased his dream for that long when it didn't look like there was a realistic chance of him ever making the majors was admirable.

Yeah, I was a big Amaral fan and Pineilla seemed to know exactly how and when to use him. I always thought Richie would make a good coach someday and after a few years, maybe a manager. He had a high baseball IQ.

He was pretty much Willie Bloomquist .02

Meh. As supersubs go, I'd take Amaral or McLemore or Javier (even though Javier didn't play infield) before I took Bloomquist. But, Bloomquist is another guy who I can see as a future manager some day.

I could see bloomquist being a Mike Scioscia type of manager in the future.
