I think it was spelled Valdes when he was here

there wasn't a single aspect of that thread that was not embarassing Did Da Bum win this? Speaking of, my buddy Brian finally told me a story about him about complaining some stupid horsefeathers at the office that had nothing to do with Windermere. He said he got more about him, but he won't tell me. Invite?

Will have to pare it down to 32 to accommodate the number of active posters

Does nobody care about the sanctity of PMs anymore??

I’m still waiting for Groucho Marx’s corpse to arrive at my door

if this is worded too awkwardly, here's a gross oversimplification to make it clear what i mean if a player would rather sign a 6 year deal for $200M with an opt out after, say, year 3, than a 6 year deal for $300M with no opt out, then the opt out is good for the team. what that dollar valuation is, i have no horsefeathering idea, but it exists. But it seems to me that from the player's side, if they are really really good for the first 3 years, they are going to opt out for more money, and you are likely to lose that awesome player. If they suck, they are NOT going to opt out, and then you're on the hook for the rest of the contract (see: Jason Heyward) It’s exceedingly rare that a players best years will be at the end of their contract. Losing those because your FA did even better than expected at The part of the contract he’s supposed to be good at is a win

I saw your original math Brian and will judge you forever for it
-
That’s Tim
-
I've seen this comparison a lot, and feel the need to point out that Harper is 6 years younger than Pujols was at the time of their contracts.

no we're not

What should I work on next?
SouthSideRyan replied to Tim's topic in North Side Baseball Issues & Suggestions
Work on closing the board forever -
25.4 per year...or put another way Brandon Kintzler plus Cole Hamels plus .4 million Horsefeathers Theo just as much as Tom Now think about what Russell is making
-
Showcase IMO
-
We obviously wouldn’t budge on Alzolay
-
There is no money there next year either!! They were stuck with 1 year contract for pitching because people are getting raises next year
-
We're just saving our payroll for Vlad Jr's free agency.

Don't have to go that far back. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62517

i hate him for both and horsefeathering chris taylor, justin turner, and [expletive] hernandez and horsefeathering john starks Will Clark That’s Rockets favorite player
-
It does bizarrely need to be proven to fans though
-
If true, San Diego will be doing a great job of shaming other owners by spending to win. Hahahahahahaha..... owners have no shame. Yeah but think of how much money they'll have committed after after the 2022 season.

I just hope the hotel does well enough to allow for a mid season move
-
and they can't even make money off that hotel I do wonder what kind of business they do in the off-season. There’s really nothing going on in Wrigleyville in February. But I’m sure they thought about all this before they built the damn thing. Yes they thought about how it would be nice to own developed land around Wrigley purchased with the profits from the team. (See McCourt and his dodgers parking lots)
