Jeff Weaver looking for 4/40?

[Stu]

as per ESPN?

 

Ugh. He's had his moments, but isn't the guy far too flaky, inconsistent to come anywhere close to justifying that? Even in THIS market?

[CuseCubFan69]

I think the market is going to slow until next off season. He should have made the cash when he had the chance IMO. If he had the chance.

He may feel that he made the post season roster; Marquis didn't. He thinks that means he's worth 3 extra million per and an extra year more than Marquis.

I'm sure he feels one way but the market could feel another. Reading what you wrote about Marquis not even making the playoff roster and still getting a big paycheck really makes me feel uneasy. I hope Mr. Hendry and Rothschild are right about this.

I doubt he gets is. I believe most teams have spent most of their money, already. And the teams that haven't spent much, are most likely not interested, so it's a odd time to make the case you want 4/$40 mill when there is hardly any money left. So, I think Weaver stays in St. Lou on a another 1 yr contract, and that deal may wait till near the end of January before it happens.

4/40 for a guy whose team basically ate his contract and waived him last year

[treebird]

come on cubs, give him what he wants.

 

it's not my money, he has good stuff, he's been good in the past, i don't want to rely on young players, he's great for a no. 5, this is the market rate, etc.

3/21 for a guy who was replaced by a guy whose team basically ate his contract and waived him last year.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, 4/40 isn't that much for a guy who's better than Verlander.

This is very annoying. Grow up please. :roll: And make sure you get your facts right. I said he out pitched him in that world series game.

And that he's got a sweet looking fanny, IIRC.
