Yeah I was thinking Giambi is going to be about 5 mil cheaper, that helps with the 5th starter issues…

I didn’t say he DESERVES a contract worth 17 million a year, nor did AD. What we did say is, 17million is probably what he will get. Yes, he probably deserves a deal worth less than the one Furcal just signed. Maybe 3 years/24 million. But we all know that is not going to happen.

One way to tell is the jump he gets on pop-ups, great instincts. Yogy covered LF a lot when he and Howard were catching, Jeter is not fast, more quick, but he can handle LF…not CF. 27/09.

but then you have to deal something valuable for him! why not buy now on the cheap so that the yanks can fix him up or he proves himself healthy, and his development continues

Much love for the Crime Dog.

He’s really in a lose/lose situation. He didn’t stick around long enough to get a “magic” number so he’ll be punished for that. Yet, if he did stick around, people would say he was just holding on so he could get the milestone–funny how the same thing won’t be said for Biggio. But I’ll save that rant for another day.

Yeah, the Posada over Bay thing is a ridiculus comment

To be fair, in the Nady trade he also got Marte, who he wanted for years, and clearly valued by signing to a 3 year/$12mil contract. But otherwise spot on, especially the part about being the other GM. You could even stretch that to fan of the other team. Cincy is going nowhere, what use would they have for Bailey, who they would be trading at his absolute lowest value. That’d be like a fan of another team suggesting they could trade us an injured, broken down 3B for Hughes when his era was 8. Hughes>Bailey, but at one point they were pretty comparable. Cincy gains nothing by selling low on him to pick up a high salaried player who will lead them to 4th place. If healthy.
