Gil Meche gets 5 year/55mil...this is ridiculous. He's a #3 starter, at best.

well it's also kansas city so they had to spend more to get him to sign. i still think the ted lilly deal was worse

That's the best way for KC to get back in the game...overpay for mediocrity //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Lilly's deal was worse...I have a feeling someone is going to give Steve Traschel a 5 year $100mil deal at this rate...

Mets thinking about Mulder, Harden and Haren

Zito may be out of reach //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Bannister for Burgos was brilliant!!!

Mota was resigned //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Bonds gets 16mil guaranteed and 4 mil in incentives...wow.

I can't wait to see what Zito gets in this market...he'll probably end up with ~20mil/yr

I actually really liked Mota, until he got caught.

Wow Pettitte back to the Yankees for 1 yr and 16millon. That is pure crazyiness! What is baseball coming too.

Also did you guys here that Juan Uribe cousin to Juan Uribe died? Had a car crash. I remember him when he was with the Giants. RIP!

 

[Randy Savage 5,000+ posts]

Yeah, heard about Uribe..sad.

Also, Petite getting 16mil is just more leverage for Zito to demand 20mil/yr and get it from someone...

inge is a fluke

zito doesnt deserve 20 mil...but he'll probably get it

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

we should look into Mulder or Harden in a trade

If the Red Sox lowball Matzusuka, the Mets could probably get him (they had the 2nd highest bid)

How is he a fluke? He has good power, gets on base, good 3rd baseman and dont get hurt too often. I think he has done pretty good. He would get a lot more respect if he could bring up his average. But calling him a fluke is a little retarded.
