World Series Preview 10-23

[Floffman]

Draft picks are a big deal, and Seattle's pick is protected, but a pick is a pick. Second rounders can still be good players. Pedroia was a 2nd rounder. You still get to say that you tried to keep him. No sane fan should question why the Giants would want to cut his salary,and only offer him 1 year. As I write that, it dawns on me that he actually DID take a salary cut, as he was making $20mm each of the last 2 years.

Maybe the Giants will offer Zito a new multi-year pact for old times sakes. You know, he helped them in the playoffs last season. That is worth about $25mm over 2 years, right?

Is pot legal in Washington? If yes, then it was a concern that he would defect north.

Well its better than hearing about the Feard Baggots

why does facial hair bother the yankee franchise, and apparently their fans, so much?

 

[Brocktagon]

Do you think it played any part that Seattle could have been the front runner? The Giants figure that if he tests FA, Seattle gives him the minimum and SF gets a second rounder instead of a first? Or are draft picks not really that big of a deal?

i think it was more of a big 'thank you' because of the fact he got a no-trade clause with it.

does this mean you shaved your beard?

I just don't think we really overpaid all that much. The QO is $14M, right? So we sweetened the pot a little... thanks for the 2 WS rings, the Cy Youngs, the NH and all the merchandise sold consistently. I'm telling you- he puts people in the seats. He is a huge fan favorite. A lot of that is immeasurable.

They would rather employ drug users (not talking PED's here), low-lifes (too many to name), and child ******ers (Luis P) than have a guy with facial hair. Real world class organization there. Priorities are clearly in order.

It's a fair point. The Yankees did the same with Jeter when he got his 3yrs/$51mm. The difference is that Lincecum actually made a difference.

It does not bother me... I like facial hair and can grow if easily.

Its the fact that it is actually a story that pisses me off.

Gotta say that Boston's club house is a little too friendly when they give each other 'tugs' on their beards.

I hate beards. They look stupid in anything other than a fantasy setting where they dont have sinks and electricity.

Much more impressed with Napoli's bat when it shows up.

It is a very good thing that I am not a G.M then. To me, be if $ 14 mil or $ 17 mil, it is far too much to give out as a "thank you".


As a G.M, when it comes to payout, it should be all about "What have you done for me lately". And, if the answer is "Not all that much", then, said player should be paid accordingly.

Me and my stupid hold on wanting things in life to be fair and make sense..........
