I agree it is low, I am also curious how that number got out. - groiny Jan 16, 12:25 1
- Most likely. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 12:40
Maybe people just don't want to play Scott Boras' games? I know if I was a GM, I wouldn't want to deal with that guy. nm - Alexander Hamilton Jan 16, 11:59 8
- You died before baseball was invented. What do you know? - Krusty Jan 16, 12:39 6
  - And in the face of ignorance and resistance, I wrote financial systems into existence. nm - Alexander Hamilton Jan 16, 12:53 5
    - look, the steroids era, players were putting up numbers at 38,39,40, that just is not realistic anymore. - groiny Jan 16, 12:56 4
      - And you happily overpay for those last two years if the previous eight got you a ring or three. - Krusty Jan 16, 13:04 3
        
        there are too many bad endings to these stories, where teams were crippled by bad long term deals. - groiny Jan 16, 13:11 2
        
        That's why I say 8 is the best option but if he insists on 10 I'd drop the yearly number so it hurts less at the end. - Krusty Jan 16, 13:28 1
        
        the only one who gets happy with 10 year deals is player / agent. -- nm - groiny Jan 16, 13:33
- the problem is there is always one team out there that will. - groiny Jan 16, 12:25
To be fair I think he killed his value with his comments and behavior over the last couple of months of last season. - pmb Jan 16, 11:59 5
- I don't think so. Lots of guys don't hustle on ever ball. I don't think that's as big an issue with teams as it is with fans. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 12:37 4
  - It is an issue with fans and it becomes an issue when he defends not hustling. Guys on the Cubs who have not run out ground balls over the past year - pmb Jan 16, 12:44 3
    - I don't like it but a lot of guys do it. Cano has done it his whole career and the media got on him and he kept doing it. -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 16, 12:51
    - Manny Machado is more than aware of how much I disapprove of him. - Diva Jan 16, 12:49 1
      - Yeah, as talented as he is, I don't want him on my team. If I'm the White Sox trying to make the leap, you need that talent boost. But if you think - pmb Jan 16, 12:52
