Hendry signs Jones for 3/$16 million

[treebird]

does anyone know where i can buy some heroin?

 

Tree, if you somehow include a vicious critique of this signing in with the Wood surgery question at the Peoria stop, it's now up to $75.

 

make it 90 (tickets are 15 dollars) and you're on

 

 

seriously, you can write what you want me to say and everything. if i have to submit a question, ill just write something about how much i love pierre, and then read my own thing when i get up there. let's do this.

 

It's on. Its so on.

 

My sister will want to come see, so I'll just have her bring a tape recorder for proof.

 

Although, I should note that if this plays out like I think it will in my head, you'll just be able to read about it in the paper the next day anyway.

Is there any chance at all he'd sign Wilson or a different lefty masher? Because otherwise who the hell will start in right against lefties?

Why did Hendry have to get obsessed with catching the ball in this piss poor offseason? WHY WHY WHY WHY?

 

4th or 5th place guaranteed unless Z, Prior and Wood all have cyoung type years.

Awesome. I'm going to have to drive to Peoria to see this. :lol:

Three year deal! :evil: What the hell is the matter with Hendry?

 

This is freaking ridiculous.

 

It's like he panicked and decided instead of signing one of the Bad 3 to a one year plus an option deal, to go long term with a player that you can make a case for Corey being as patient as.

 

What an idiotic deal. Idiotic.

 

I'm still waiting for someone to come and justify this move somehow.

[UMFan83]

Honestly, the thinking behind this one is going to be hilarious. I cannot, cannot wait until Hendry trots out some stupid reason for signing him.

 

And even if you feel he's the best, fine. Give him 1 year with an option. Don't guarantee 3 years!! :x

 

Jacque Jones has caught the most balls for active players with over 1,000 strikeouts with a career OBP between .326 and .330 who play their home games North of Springfield, IL with a last name of Jones

It's signings like this that tempt me to use many, many profanities.

You'll be waiting for awhile.

I can honestly say I would have been less angry had he exercised Burnitz's option, if I knew this were the result.. At least it was only for one year.

I had to go to another board to unleash my profanity laden tirade. I just couldn't be all proper.

[RockTheIvy]

DIdnt friggin' Jones have a worse year than BURNITZ? UGH!

Who knows, it might work out just fine. (I'm just glad he's not a Cardinal)

Are you kidding? I would have loved Burnitz for 1 year and $7 million compared to this crap. What a complete joke.

I would remove myself from this thread, quickly and quietly.

So just wait until Jones is placed 4th in the lineup between Aramis and Derrek. Just wait.

 

The only plus is that barring absolutely miraculous performances Baker will be fired.

"He's a switch hitter Rock, of course he's going to get his AB's against lefties. That's why we paid him so much."

Wow. I'm glad our friends bought us A's tickets instead of MLB Extra Innings. :|

[gflore34]

Hendry (JJ Press Conference): "Obviously we needed to shore up our defense and Jacque is a Gold Glove caliber OF additionally, and most obviously, he's got the quickest bat in Baseball. Meaning he'll swing faster and just as fast miss thereby, allowing patrons to buy that next beer and not have to concern themselves with those annoying base runners."

 

 

There's no defense for the stupidity of this move, the only person this move makes sense to is Dusty. Which of course, makes perfect sense.

Come on now. Have *some* tact and wait until we're 33 pages into the vent before dropping this when it's fresh.
