Kalapse Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 No #'s released yet but the Score is reporting the Sox will be avoiding arb for the next 3 seasons with Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) Works for me. It'll definitely be interesting to see the numbers on this one. Edited December 8, 2006 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 It'll be interesting to see what the #'s are, it's a bit risky to give a guy who has been hurt so much a three year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 sounds good. hopefully we can have a solid 1-2-3 punch in Thorton, Macdougal and Jenks for a long time. Now we need to figure out the bottom 3... i dunno about you guys but Aardsema, Floyd, and Haegar just isn't appealing to me. Lets at least get 1 more veteran for down there.

I know I sound like an old man who used to pay a dime for a cup of coffee and now pays $2, but I remember when you could get a starter for 5 million.

103 mph screwball Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Mystery solved. MacDougal gets Freddie's 10 million. That's it. End of offseason. Â I like MacDougal. I'm happy to hear he's gonna be around a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 This deal could turn out great for the Sox if the price is right. This way they not only avoid arbitration for all 3 years they'll also have a team option for Mac's first year of free agency keeping him under White Sox control for the next 4 seasons.

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Score said the deal is for six million (total, not per year). I like it, especially since he was arbitration eligible anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox9 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I thought he was already locked until 2009? He was only making $430,000 per year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggliopipe Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Keep working your magic Herm! Â I really like what he brings to the table and I'm glad to have him back. I love the Indians model of tying up young talent through the arbitration years at a reasonable cost and I wish KW would do more of it. However, it's far from a remote possibility that the Macdougal trade and now this extension combine to blow up in KW's face if Lumsden tears up the league and Macdougal continues his string of injuries. But like I said, keep working your magic Mr. Herman Schneider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sox-r-us Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Good one - however, what would he get in arbitration if we offered it to him every year for the next 3 years? I know it is a function of how well he does, but anyone can project it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxman72 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Nice move - If the market continues the way it is now and Mike pitches well - this is a very smart move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 i like this move, hopefully the market will correct it self in two years but regardless this is a very nice move by the FO. lets hope Herm can keep the back end of our BP healthy.
