That's what I like to hear. All that remains to be seen is if Hendry can get everything he can for them. Here's to hoping other teams overvalue Theriot's grit.
Traded by Chicago Cubs with Jamie Moyer and Drew Hall to Texas Rangers in exchange for Mitch Williams, Paul Kilgus, Steve Wilson, Curt Wilkerson, Luis Benitez and Pablo Delgado (December 5, 1988). Great trade
Yeah, sucks to pitch well for a team that won't score runs. Hopefully for Strasburg, Dunn stays, Zimmerman keeps hitting and Harper breezes through the minors.
Let's hope this is just the beginning. His OBP isn't ridiculously high, but I'm pleasantly surprised by his plate discipline at such a young age at the big league level. He's only gonna get better.
If you say so. Looks like the deal is $102 million over 17 years and only $1 million per year for the last seven. That makes for a cap hit of only $6 million a year. Kovalchuk gets his $100 million and the Devils get him at an affordable rate.
It's not gonna be $150 mil. ESPN changed its report. It'll likely be 17 years, $100 million and front loaded. It'll lesson the cap hit and makes it so he won't be earning $7 million a year when he's 40. I'm excited. But now I wonder what Lou does to dump salary. I'm think he ships off Rolston, White and Zubrus for a bag of pucks. Rolston isn't good anymore and is overpaid. White is basically useless. And Zubrus is a solid defensive forward but is making too much.
I wouldn't. It's kinda hard to sell high on a young pitcher who's having success and was a good prospect before making his big-league debut because he can continue to get better. His peripherals may be weird, but that doesn't mean you trade him.
