2011-2012 MLB offseason thread

Not knocking you, just curious where the 115-120 number came from? If that's the case, they could easily fit Pujols salary.

I should have explained it better. Their payroll will be around this figure pending they sign Pujols.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Nate Mclouth signs with Pittsburgh.

Inb4 a braves fan makes a death threat to mclouth

 

[TBrown]

Not worth a death threat IMO

 

[zjcvols]

For?

Signing Jose Reyes. He is the ultimate "I'm playing in my contract year, then I'm going back to my normal lackadaisical play, injuries, and frustrate the hell out of my teammates" contract guy.

 

[GAVol]

Nate Mclouth signs with Pittsburgh.

Perfect place for him. He'll probably go 20hr/80rbi in 500 ABs that don't matter.

 

[YankeeVol]

Marlins agree to a 4 year deal with Buehrle

Agree to disagree

Albert Pujols 10 years 250 million to the Angels.

Lordy.

Sources -- Albert Pujols takes 10-year deal from Los Angeles Angels - ESPN Los Angeles

Perhaps I could see your point but Reyes missed alot of time this year with injuries. We he's in the lineup he's been nothing but consistent.

Lordy.

And I thought the Yankees only gave out retarded contracts

 

[005]

And I thought the Yankees only gave out retarded contracts

Yeah. That's what it takes to get him, though. He can DH near the end, and he's the best player of the generation.

But it could look ugly in years 8-10

CJ Wilson to the Angels just reported

...think his agent told ESPN 5 years, $77.5mil

Edit: corrected numbers

CJ Wilson to the Angels just reported

...think his agent told ESPN 7 years, $55 mil?

I think it's 5 years, 77 mil

 

[TrueOrange]

You're right. Just watched it again and edited the post's numbers

 

[005]

Weaver, Haren, Wilson, Santana

 

[zjcvols]

Weaver, Haren, Wilson, Santana

Sick. Just sick.

Bullpen still bad isn't it?

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Jordan Waldin was great last year. They'll need some middle relief and set-up guys for sure though.

It's Walden but I agree. They have no bridge though..at all.

Bullpen help can be found. For Kendrys if he is alive somewhere, possibly.

Haha. Trumbo to 3rd, Pujols to 1st, Kendrys to DH. Livin the good life.

Rays sign Matt Moore to a 5 year/14 million deal. Friedman strike again.

3 club options, too. If he hits every escalator it only gets to 40M. 8 yrs/40M (at most), great deal.
