Buster Posey: Got money and you know it

[zjcvols]

Nine years, $167M

$18.5M

If Posey stays at catcher, this is a good deal for both sides IMO.

Gotta wonder when Tim Beckham will get an extension

As a fellow baseball nerd, I got that and laughed.

Most coin ever guaranteed to a player under three years of service time.

Didn't realize that.

They signed him through his age 34 season. Maybe a year past his prime, but that's a really good deal. And Buster gets nine years of guaranteed money in his mid twenties.

Great deal, add that with the Cain deal. San Francisco is set fire years to come.

Didn't say you did. They guy has been on a tear since debuting.

Bumgarner as well.

Yeah, that guy is next.

[JL 103]

Sabean and Bochy got extensions yesterday also. Everybody gets a raise.

Didn't he get an extension

Last year. But if he progresses they will need to bump up his pay. Especially with Lincecum flirting with wanting to go to Seattle next season.

Considering Tim's regression I'm sure they'll help him pack if someone wants to overpay for him.

The whole city will help. Hell, we have been waiting to do it to Zito before last year.

Difference is that your team was the over payer for Zito.

True. It was to get the stench of Bonds off of us.

Yeah especially when they were under a federal investigation for perjury.
