    i haven't seen a single person say that milton bradley sucks.

    So fr your argument you spread the signing bonus out over 8 yedars even though he's already receieved all of it, but then you don't factor the money he's gauranteed to make later into what he's doing right now. Interesting. If you want to do it your way, he made 17 mil in 07 and 13 mil in 08. Bottom line is that he's getting 17 mil a year for 8 years. If Aaron Miles was given 6/75 but he only made 500k in each of the first 2 years, it would be pretty pointless to say "well he's earned his contract to this point". Nope, the fact that his numbers dramatically drop when he's moved from the leadoff spot. His worst two seasons (by far) over the past 7 seasons were the back to back years in Texas where they tried to bat him in the middle of the order. Lou bats him leadoff because of this. We've seen him try him down in the order and have no patience when he struggles there to start out. This is caused by Soriano's track record. I don't like paying 17 million a year for an injury prone .890 OPS power hitter who doesn't bat in the middle of the order.

    so has soriano i don't like paying 18 mil a year for a power hitter who can't bat in the middle of the order and can't stay on the field That's interesting, but we've paid Soriano 9m and 13m the last 2 years (not including signing bonus/incentives). He's earned that. Will he earn 16m this year and the 18m he gets from 2010-2014? We'll jump off that bridge when we get there. 17 million a year. sorry. 136/8= 17. you can spread it out however you want, but ultimately he's making 17 million dollars a year. even if you do it your way, he's averaged 15 mil a year for his first 2 seasons when you factor in the 8 mil signing bonus. i don't think a good-but-not-great power hitter who can't hit in the middle of the order or stay on the field is worth 15 million a year. sorry.

    I think people weren't paying attention to what the batters did.... they were paying attention to what Pedro did. He looked good regardless of who he was facing

    If you lose an edge, you lose an edge, what are you gonna do? he lost an edge because he was trying to do his stupid little spinorama for no reason
  12. 17 Seconds
    yeah that was a bit much
  13. 17 Seconds
    Where did you see that he turned down 7 mil? I was under the impression that he was having a hard time finding teams with interest.

    Low risk high reward. Nobody is saying he should give him a large amount of money. At this point he'd likely come very cheap. What would it hurt?

    arod

    17 Seconds replied to treebird's topic in Fantasy Sports

    I wouldn't take Arod second even if he was healthy Not a fan of guys who put up big numbers? Come on. You can take a couple other guys at 2 that have roughly the same chance of matching or exceeding the value of a healthy ARod. Almost anyone drafted in the first round will put up big numbers (barring injury, complete collapse, etc). Who you take with the 2nd pick would primarily be driven by your draft strategy. I don't know, if there is still a guy like Arod left in the second round (barring it being like a 10 player league) I would most definitely take him, especially if he's healthy. Even on a 'down' year for him (like last year) he still put up 35HR and 100+RBI with a great OBP. i was talking about second overall pick, not round

    Not with the Cubs he wasn't. in 04 he was

    He might be "healthy", but Milton Bradley is healthy every offseason too. The problem is staying healthy. Still though, I'd imagine you'd be able to get him extremely late in drafts, so it's worth a shot..... as long as walks are somehow taken into acocunt in the scoring (BB, OBP, OPS). When he's on the field he's really good.
