BigRog Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 :wtf: 8 million, this guy pitched like 10 innings in two years. Damn I'm in the wrong bizz. and their stating he will be an 8th inning set up man with the possibility of taking over the closer job. if i was paying a guy that much i would say "here take the job." i woulndt pay that much for a setup man.

TheProdigy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 what's so bad about the Gagne signing ? He was one of the best closers a few years ago, and he's been rehabbing. Once he gets back to form he can be filthy again, he still is filthy, he just needs to stay on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheProdigy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 if he gets paid more than the closer, than that is pretty asinine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 what ever that guys anme is otsuka or something. he is gonna close if he is performing well. kinda like you gotta show us your ready deal the Rangers have been shopping Otsuka for about a week in preparation for signing Gagne, so Gagne more than likely will be the closer providing Texas can find a good deal.

TwentySeven Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Howie Kendrick - Angels: first base second position? 44 games at first, including 42 starts and 350 innings. He is a second baseman, but he does play first base. Trade: To Rockies: Willy Taveras, Jason Hirsh, Taylor Bucholz To Astros: Jason Jennings, Miguel Asencio Rangers: Prospect Edison Volquez- His name has an N as in Edinson Volquez: http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/te...layer_id=450172 Matt Stairs OF/DH signs with a minor league contract worth $850,000, but it is likely he will still get a roster spot. Tigers - Alexis Gomez was nontendered and it is likely he will be a free agent. This frees up room - Omar Infante will likely be on the Tigers starting roster next season. Brandon Inge signed a 4 year extension to his contract worth $24M. Gabe Kapler - Boston: Retired, will be a manager of the Boston A minors team. Reds - Brandon Claussen DFA'd, RHP David Weathers signed to a two year contract. The contract is expected to be $5M over the next two seasons, and Weathers is apparently now the favorite to close out games for the Reds. Mike Stanton is expected to set up and close against some lefty heavy lineups. Pirates claim Franquelis Osoria from the Dodgers off of waivers. Braves non-tendered Chris Reitsma and Marcus Giles, making them free agents. Blue Jays agreed to terms with infielder Jason Smith on a one-year, $500,000 contract. Devil Rays claimed LHP Bobby Livingston off waivers from the Mariners and traded him to the Phillies for cash considerations. Free agent Jeff Cirillo is expected to take a one-year, $1.5 million contract from the Twins. Yankees non-tendered OF Aaron Guiel, making him a free agent, however they are expected to offer him a minor league contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheProdigy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I tell you something, Omar will make somewhat of a push to get Marcus Giles, even with Valentin here. Valentin against lefties hit a bit over .200 in his career, which is dreadful. Last year he didn't do that well either but the Astros got raped today, end of story.

rulegm Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Thats one of the best decisions the Mets have made this offseason. Zambrano was a jinx. I'd sooner offer Julio Franco a 3 year deal than give Zambrano a 1 year deal HAHAHAHAHAHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emil Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 The Giants... - re-sign Steve Kline for 2-years, $3.5 million. - sign pitcher Damon Moss to a minor league deal If it haven't been posted: Signed C Bengie Molina to a three-year contract. Signed INF Rich Aurilia to a two-year contract; Re-signed 3B Pedro Feliz to a one-year contract. Signed OF Dave Roberts to a three-year contract. Re-signed 2B Ray Durham to a two-year contract.

Emil Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Red Sox Sign Matsuzaka According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Red Sox have signed Daisuke Matsuzaka to a six-year, $52MM deal with an additional $8MM in incentives. That makes him an $18.5MM player, if you are to include the posting fee. If you're so inclined. Boston now boasts the following starting rotation: Daisuke Matsuzaka Curt Schilling Josh Beckett Jon Papelbon Tim Wakefield I would assume Jon Lester is the sixth man, ready to step in when needed or when he proves he's better than Wakefield. It's not offical, but no doubt it will happen eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pujols Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Mariners Acquire Jose Vidro The Mariners have traded Chris Snelling and Emiliano Fruto to the Nationals for second baseman Jose Vidro, according to the Washington Post. The Mariners intend to pay $12MM of the $16MM remaining on Vidro's contract for 2007-08. Jim Bowden did well. Vidro, 32, hopefully will not supplant young Jose Lopez as the starting second baseman. In getting into 126 games last year, Vidro had his healthiest season in a while. However, his power seems to have evaporated and he's not exactly nimble in the field. Sure, he's cheap, but he's not particularly good. He's little help at 2B or DH. Snelling is another oft-injured player, though he is only 25. Many of his injuries have been the result of bad fortune, but he's been through a lot. He's still a good gamble for a team like the Nats. Fruto is just 22 and is a high-upside arm with three plus pitches, according to Baseball America. He hasn't started since '03 but maybe the Nats will want to reinvent him.
