QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 03:19 PM) he makes less than Gil Meche The Sox love 3-year deals with pitchers. 3 year deal is soooo much better than the alternative. Think if we locked him up for 5 years like the market is asking. I like the deal a ton. This really isnt that much of a raise, considering the market, thats a great move. His salary in a much lower market over the past 3 years: 2004 New York Yankees $9,000,000 2005 Arizona Diamondbacks $11,000,000 2006 Chicago White Sox $12,000,000

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 03:18 PM) To me it's not about the money. Contracts are insane right now so to be honest the money probably wont be horrible considering the market. I just don't want Vazquez here for 3 extra years until he starts to prove he can actually turn his stuff into results. As much as people would like to believe he turned the corner at the end of last year, I still want to see it in results this year. The guy is still a mental midget imo and I still don't think you can count on him to be a consistant starter, not yet anyways. Hopefully I'm wrong. A pitcher like him at 3 years 34 million is worth more than the alternative which is 15 million or so for an arm, or watching young guys struggle at the MLB level. Low risk contract, and really good considering the market value.

3 years 34 million reported. A GREAT deal by KW.

If Gil Meche signs a 5 year 55 million dollar contract and we get Javy for 3 years 34 million. I would say thats nice work by KW.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) sox just signed Javy to a 3 year 34 mill contract... thoughts? below market price and length.

QUOTE(whitesox07champs @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 03:10 PM) Everyone who agrees with this move apperently has a short term memory. This guy is garbage and should get 5th starter money, anything more is a waist of money. So like 44 million over 4 years? Thats 5th starter money these days.

Jesus, Thorton is just punishing these guys

QUOTE(Reddy @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 03:05 PM) lol yeah i thought the same thing Who wants free candy?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 03:04 PM) Gil Meche money for Gil Meche numbers. ugh, I dont know if I would compare Meche and Javy.

Nice shot of the pedophile in the kids corner

Attention Comcast: Please move the mic away from our dugout. Its not good for the kids

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 02:52 PM) How's his stance? Hes a little more straight up and down, a bit closed with the toe tap going on. He looks a little more on balance

it will be below market price for pitchers of his caliber, you can bet on that.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 02:49 PM) he actually was good the 2nd inning till he f***ed himself over with his own mistakes and we know Javy... mental stuff is his biggest problem It appeared that he really started to use his pitches in that third. One of the swings was 3 feet above it. Also Uribe looks pretty decent at the plate this ST.

what a weird game. Javy looks off in the first two innings, but appears to be working on specific pitches in specific spots. The 3rd inning he starts using more of his pitches, locations and speed, and dominates.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 01:05 PM) Sent you a PM. Thanks. done and done

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 01:01 PM) Calling them now...but that link freaked me out. I have the word doc with the games listed that he sent me, I could post it here or send it to you.

83 mph fastball by the wonderkid. Enter the tribune spin dept.

I had the guy send me my list of games. Thats the better route. is there anyway to upload a .doc file so I can list the 27 game plans?

I have 27 games and the opening series game. Im not sure where you are seeing this.

Tightness and season long in the same sentence makes me extremely uneasy.

QUOTE(Scwible @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 07:02 PM) What rumor do you speak of my friend? I just read it. Briggs for the Giants 1st 2nd and 5th rounder.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 05:05 PM) I hope that Giants trade rumor is true. He would single handedly help the bears future alone. whats the trade rumor? I havent heard anything.
