Numb1075 said:I heard on ESPN this morning that Johan Santana and Gil Meche will make the same amount of money next season.
He could get three shots at the mascot and then booted out of the game just like any season he tries to pitch.Numb1075 said:wonder what Rick Ankiel could get in today's outlandish free agent market get if he decided he wanted to pitch again.

he does... my friend and i were talking about just that the other day and trying to figure out, based on the contracts handed out htis off-season, how much johan santana would get if he were a free agent this year. we rationalized that if gil meche is worth 10+ million per year, johan's worth at least 30 million per season.
Numb1075 said:Is it wrong to hope he fractures his femur when he's 3 home runs shy of the record?

MrPryck2U said:Just think: We're less than four months away from when the season starts. I hope Andy Pettite comes back to the Yankees. He should finish his career a Yankee.
Chizip said:checking back the past few years, his ERA+'s are 109, 111, 174, 108
so he's had 3 slightly above average years, and 1 monster steroid induced fluke year. now he is a year older and moving back to the AL East?
the Yankees will be getting 2 years of sliiightly above league average pitching for 32 million bucks

again... compared to the ridiculous contracts given out thus far this off season, 16 million for a lefty who averages 17 wins a season and is a proven post-season performer is a bargin.
Numb1075 said:maquis, 7 mil per year for 3 years......an era over 6.00
Jose Lima should be making 8 mil a year
phillyfan26 said:It's absolutely out of control. They will end up having to place a strict salary cap like the NHL, and in the relatively near future.
Chizip said:
I think he'll probably put up about a 4.50 ERA this year
Chizip said:
Well we'll have to disagree. He was 14-13 with Houston last year with a 4.20 ERA. For 4 months he was just awful, with a 5.18 ERA going into August. He had a 4.26 ERA in the postseason with the Astros, and his career postseason ERA is 4.08. He's proven to be pretty average in the postseason.
He is now a year older and going back to the AL east where he will post an ERA closer to 5.00 than 4.00. I just don't see 16 million for that as a "bargain."
Chizip said:Since 2000 he has had 1 good postseason performance:
2005 - 4 GS 1-1 4.26 ERA
2003 - 5 GS 3-1 2.10 ERA
2002 - 1 GS 0-0 12.00 ERA
2001 - 5 GS 2-3 4.55 ERA
And even bad pitchers can get hot and have a good postseason run (see Jeff Weaver)
You're not getting the Andy Pettitte of his prime, so you can't assume he'll be money in the playoffs, as we clearly see, he hasn't been lately.
