November 16, 200421 yr He signed a 4 year deal and Castilla signed a 2 year deal. This is according to Peter Gammons.

November 16, 200421 yr Author Ya I'm pretty happy too, unless of course it was a 4 yr 8 mill deal cause in thats case I'd of been all for it, lol. I'm assuming ESPN News will have Gammons or someone on pretty quickly.
November 16, 200421 yr God damnit. Who the hell are we gonna get to shore up our MIF? Not the I really liked Guzman, but jesus.
November 16, 200421 yr im happy, i really didnt want him... hopefully we can get someone though... polanco? hopefully... but i dont expect it
November 16, 200421 yr Author It was funny, when the guy announced the dollar figures on ESPN News he essentially started laughing and was like wow thats a lot of money to give Christian Guzman. Then he saw Castilla's road splits and was laughing even more, lol. STUPID MOVES, really stupid moves. Well Vinny may not be all that bad, if in fact he is being paid relatively cheap.
November 16, 200421 yr Author Just curious, anyone know how much Vinny signed for??? ESPN news hasn't said yet, so I'm assuming its an undiclosed amount as of this point.
November 16, 200421 yr Cheat is happy right now. Not yet... I'm waiting for confirmation... I don't wanna get my hopes up.
November 16, 200421 yr Author Not yet... I'm waiting for confirmation... I don't wanna get my hopes up. They said Bowden commented on the signing already with ESPN, although who knows. All I know is I'm so freaking happy the Sox didn't sign Guzman to that type of deal.
November 16, 200421 yr Yea I heard Gammons said the same thing. But this IS Gammons.. The Gammons who has all the GMs cell phone numbers and is one of the most inside baseball men in the world.
November 16, 200421 yr Confirmation http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...-2004Nov16.html Edited November 16, 200421 yr by The Cheat
November 16, 200421 yr The Gammons who has all the GMs cell phone numbers and is one of the most inside baseball men in the world. The same Gammons who has wrong several times, and is still human. Not saying he's wrong on this part, but I'm not gonna believe everything that comes out of his mouth.
November 16, 200421 yr Author OMFG, 2 year 6.2 million for Vinny Castilla, bahahaaa. On the downside, all this money being dished out could be a sign that owners are going to be throwing around a lot of money, meaning hte price of FA's will be driven up. God, two stupid ass contracts, WOW.
November 16, 200421 yr The same Gammons who has wrong several times, and is still human. Not saying he's wrong on this part, but I'm not gonna believe everything that comes out of his mouth. When Gammons gets s*** wrong it's not because he lied. I think more because the fact that something feel through. JMO.
November 16, 200421 yr Author Gammons doesn't make stuff up. He's one of the best in the business, but he goes out on a limb quite often and because of it he's gonna get burned. However, he does get a lot of good information and I'm glad he's around because he makes things a lot more interesting. Like Rex has said a few times, these guys hear things and then say them and I'd rather have it that way then them waiting and waiting until the stuff finally happened. IT would be so so boring. Part of the fun is speculating what can happen and then hearing rumors and getting excited about different possibilities.
