Matt Morris signs with the Giants

[burnt out cubbie fan]

This was reported on ESPNews a couple of minutes ago. They didn't announce any contract details.

Too bad. I wanted him to go back with the Cards. I don't like this move for the Giants.

But I like it for the Dodgers, Padres, Rockies...

Giants website just says multi year 27 million. I am assuming 3 years

immortal.

Is this good for the Cardinals or bad? You'd have to think reyes could do better than a 4.11 era.

3/27 for a guy that's been on the decline for a couple years now. Wow.

I personally think it was a good move for the Cardinals not to resign him. His velocity was way down and he started to come apart at the end of the year. Not saying he won't do good but in my opinion it's very risky for that many years and money.

And silly over spending shall continue!

 

I bet Rusch could have nailed down a 4/40 contract easy, as bad as this market is going. Good think Hendu got him locked up early! :wink:

Morris comes apart at the end of every year.....he's had dead arm issues for quite some time.

 

I think it was a good move not to resign him....on the flipside, they lose the option of Marquis as trade bait, and they have multiple holes that need to be addressed, and the free agent market this year isnt/hasnt helped them out.

let the old man walk, get the draft pick and start Reyes. I don't see the Cards falling off as much as most people do this year.

I didn't want to sign him at that kind of money however I will miss him. Since giving up home runs was his biggest problem Pac Bell should be a good fit.

 

 

Good luck MattyMo!

Well, Jocketty will probably steal some pitcher and will end up doing well for them (as it always seems that way, at least), but at least the Cardinals lost someone who last year ate some innings up I guess?
