5/73 according to ChicagoSports.com. Wonder if that includes a buyout.

 

Wood gets a $1.75 million base with incentives that could bump it up to as much as $7.75 million. I'd have to assume that's if he gets back into the rotation.

 

Or gets a ton of saves.

Must have been the hometown discount. Not quite the 7/119 Kinzer hinted at.

 

Wood at 1.75 sounds good. I was guessing 2.5 - 3.

Haha. I go out for a while to watch a movie and come back to find this. All that bickering and promising to inject heroin into foreheads I made was premature I guess. :lol:

wow, I have some mad respect for Aram. Me personally I would have jumped this sinking ship and took the extra $$$ that Hendry wouldn't give me.

 

Seriously, what does he see in this team? Oh well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

You mean games finished....can't have performance stats induce bonuses. Dempster finished a few games this year that he didn't exactly save.

Neve count out a team with a payroll of $115M. See the 2006 NY Mets.

I think he could have made alot more in Anahiem via endrosements as well,

given the very high Latin population.

Do Mexicans typically identify with Latins from other regions such as DR?

I went on a serious rant here about the greed of Aramis Ramirez and how stupid i thought it would have been for the Cubs to resign him to anything more than 6/90. I'd like to apologize to Aramis for basically calling him a money hungry jerk, he really did prove me wrong. The extra 20 million he could have gotten gaurenteed obviously wasn't enough for him to leave the Cubs.

Jim Hendry said:He said manager Lou Piniella and pitching coach Larry Rothschild are in agreement that Dempster can return to form as a closer, following a disappointing season in '06.

 

this is the scariest part of that article. maybe they are just being nice though.

 

this is a good day. i don't ever ever ever want to hear people complain about aramis' 'lack of hustle' and all that other carp on media outlets such as the score. its a ridiculous concept and he proves that he wasn't just out for the cash by turning it on at the end of the year.
