    Why is everyone assuming that the 5th spot is his. Couldn't he have the bullpen\spot starter role like he did this season?

    The had pretty good stats last year... .271/.340/.546 14 SB with 1 CS I hope the Cards resign him.

    This is the best Cub\Sox WS rivalry post I've read on here. Thanks.

    Isn't this more or less just a joke though? I mean, is anybody really being "uptight"? I just thought it was funny. :shrug: Yeah, it's just a joke. In latin american countries it's no big deal to kiss a guy on the lips.

    It seems clear that some of the contract is covered under insurance; the only question is how much? Nice pull vance!!! This is my guess... 01:75% (6M) 02:70% (6M) 03:55% (6M) 04:33% (4M) 05:32% (4M) 06:22% (3M) 07:20% (3M) 08:20% (3M) 09 25% (5M) Option year Thats 40M in covered salary. I don't understand. How did you come to those numbers?

    The insurance was purchased for the entire length of the contract when Hampton signed. However you are right, insurance stop doing this because of "Albert Belle" type of problems. I believe the max they are willing to go now a days is 3 years. BTW, this is a big reason why I'm not so sure Giles will get more than 3 years.

    Here's the full story: http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2002/1118/1462593.html Considering the Braves will get insurance $ for because of Hampton's injury I think they did alright. Thanks CFICT! Do the Braves get reimbursed the whole salary? Also, is Hampton done for his career? I've ready anywhere of 66% to 80%. He's out until 07 with Tommy John surgery. I guess this wasn't a good deal for the braves after all. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2167545 Have you heard those percentages specifically on the Hampton contract? I've heard that insurance agencies won't insure pitcher's contracts for more than 3 or 4 years, because of the unpredictability of their chance to get hurt with the strain on their arm. I highly doubt any agency is insuring Hampton's contract at this point, and if they are, the premiums are likely ridiculously high (as in over the 1M range). I don't think we know for sure, but the fact that the Braves are worried about money is a pretty good indicator that very little, if any of Hampton's contract will be reimbursed by insurance. Yes, in fact it's contracts like Hampton's that made insurance companies decide to stop giving out so many years. Great observation though!

    this may get moved to polls, but how far would you go? i certainly think id move to poles if i could be sure it'd get the job done. I guess wrigley really is the largest gay bar in chicago.

    Hah, even I had a good laugh at this post.

    The folks on BP wrote about the SOX today. Here's something from Prospectus Notebook: More can be found here. I found Joe Sheehan's comments in chat today to be even more interesting: That chat can be found here.

    The Cards did alright on the JD Drew trade: AT gotL: J. D. Drew and Eli Marrero STL got: Jason Marquis, Ray King and Adam Wainwright + payroll relief The Braves got one great year of production where the Cards got a few solid season. In the end it was a wash unless Wainwright ends up doing something.

    I found this mlb.com mailbag nugget on the Cards interest Giles. Not real enlightening but I thought some of you might find it interesting. I'm having hard time finding any good information as to what type of contact he's expecting. It should be an interesting offseason.
  16. CardsFanInChiTown
    It's hard for me to believe a smart team like ATL would trade a guy like Marcus Giles to keep Furcal. Heck, 9-10m per doesn't even sound like much of a hometown discount.
  17. CardsFanInChiTown
    Cool, thanks for the update!

    I read he was a big part in improving their minors.
  19. CardsFanInChiTown
    No.

    I hear lots of screaming outside my window...
  21. CardsFanInChiTown
    Congrats Sox!
  22. CardsFanInChiTown
    I didn't believe in the Sox all year...
  23. CardsFanInChiTown
    Good job by the fans getting out of the way on that one btw...
  24. CardsFanInChiTown
    What a catch!
  25. CardsFanInChiTown
    Oh come on, the Sox are a flat out good team! I never denied that, but they are a flat out good team that caught more breaks than any team I have ever seen in baseball or any other sport for that matter. That's a bold statement. Not really, I'm only 18 after all, so I haven't seen that much. The Sox just happen to be the luckiest team I've yet seen in my life as a sports fan. Read up on the 85 WS my friend.
