Wagner

These closers are getting a lot, in the past week. Will this be another bad contract for the Mets?

THat is a lot of money but if I was goign to give that money to a closer in baseball, Wagner would be among my first three choices. Also, given BJ Ryan's deal, this isn't as bad as it would have seemed a week ago. I respect the Mets for going for it all, even if it blows up in their faces( I will likely pick them to win the East though if they add a good catcher and a set-up man)

You know, despite these signings and the Delgado move and such, I still don't look at Omar and call him one of the better general managers in baseball. With tons of money to work with in a situation where your team hasn't really developed any expectations, these moves don't scream "great baseball moves" at me.

 

I dunno.

I don't know if that would have seemed like that bad of a deal a week ago either...the numbers "4 and $40 mil" kept floating around Wagner, and this is still pretty close to that.

I guess all they have left to do is trade Cliff Floyd or something for Manny Ramirez

How much time will Wagner spend on the DL during thar contract?

 

Jesus, what is Konerko going to get? 25 years 600 million?

Wagner is actually pretty durable. He's had some of those nagging things like a groin pull but its not like his labrum is damaged or anything

the mets have always been about throwing money around and never really getting alot done.

 

see: mo vaughn.

Bobby Jenks' value is through the roof. He probably can't wait until he becomes a free agent. Of course, he will have to earn a bunch of saves until then.

By the time he is a free agent the contract are going to be 15 years 215 million.

I still cannot see paying a guy who pitches 80 innings over $10 Million a year.

 

So what is the better deal. I say neither, but if I had to pick one I guess you go with the guy who is proven.

 

Wagner for 4yr / $43 or Ryan for 5yr / $47?

I would say Ryan. At least he's still young. Wagner is 34 years old and he will be 38 by the time his contract is up.

haha

 

i was thinking the same thing

I'd take Billy Wagner. He's elite

  Wagner is 34 years old and he will be 38 by the time his contract is up.

You're good.

You're good.
