[QUOTE="alphakenny1, post: 2499434, member: 561605"] no schmidt signed a 3 year 47 million contract. a bit over 15 mil a year. the reason why the giants decided not to resign for big money is because schmidt has been injured often since 2004 and because the front office and him clashed. but is the signing a lil crazy? maybe but from what has been going on this off season, its all relative. zito has great durability but his numbers do not project him as a staff ace. but he was the prized free agent pitcher this off season so and with the exploding market, he got a huge contract. i am a giants fan and what hurts the length of the contract. maybe if it was for like 4-5 years i could handle 18 mil a year but 7 years is a freakn long time. but i do think zito will pitch well in pitcher friendly at&t park and also playing in pitcher friendly ballparks in LA and San Diego will help as well.
