Rosenthal: Cubs considering Castillo (re-signs with Mets)

[Backtobanks]

man, crappy free agents are expensive. arod looks like a steal at $30 mil/year.

 

Baseball made a lot of money in 2007....get ready for some outrageous money to be thrown around on some pretty average players.

 

Baseball makes a ton of money every year and all the talk about GMs holding the line is always bs. The low-budget teams are just pocketing all the profits for the owners instead of spending it on players.

It would be almost as irritating to me to see my team spending $30 million in payroll when every team gets almost $50M in revenue sharing as it is to see Hendry piss away the money he does for the results that we see every year.

According to Rotoworld, Castillo and Eckstein are both looking for a 4 year deal. Eckstein supposedly wants "Lugo type" money. Yes thats right David Eckstein wants a 4 year 36 million dollar deal. HA

 

Edit: Apparently we cant say dam nit anymore? Lol

 

Eckstein is literally the only SS on the market worth anything. He'll get it.

 

Hendry will probably give it to him. How about an Eckstein/Theriot middle-infield?

I'd rather pay Theriot 350K than Eckstein 9M.
