quickman Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 3 year 8.75 million. Not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Not too bad. For Damien Miller. 3 year deal for a 35 yr. old catcher, interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Considering he was looking for 5 million earlier on in the FA period, this is not a bad deal at all for the Brewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy they landed him, it's a risk but Miller is a solid citizen and the fans in Milwaukee deserve a competitive team. They are good fans up there.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I wouldn't have offered that deal, but I'm not surprised someone did. I had Matheny pegged as returning to the Crew, so it will be interesting how the rest of the catcher market flows as one of the cheaper alternatives for varitek has left the market.

quickman Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 For Damien Miller. 3 year deal for a 35 yr. old catcher, interesting. The third year is an option at 3.75 if thye don't take it they owe him 2.5 I think its a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 So much for hearing JOSE, JOSE, JOSE in the metrodome... Why, castro is definitely not the twins answer to short or dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Why, castro is definitely not the twins answer to short or dh. Castro is a terribly perplexing signing... He has a career OPS of .600. for a combined OPS+ of 57. He's sure-handed, but has poor range. The twins already have a plethora of mediocre middle infielders. (Bartlett, Cuddyer, Rivas, Punto, Ojeda) Oh and they are going to be giving him $1M for the next TWO seasons. Why???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 He has incriminating photos of GM Terry Ryan perhaps? must have... I'll give Ryan a pass until his next poor signing. But why pay for a poor-hitting infielder when you have 3 who haven't reached arbitration yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 must have... I'll give Ryan a pass until his next poor signing. But why pay for a poor-hitting infielder when you have 3 who haven't reached arbitration yet? I was not say he is good at all. You must have misread it because i was asking him why they cannot still sign valentin since castro is not exactly gonna fill their short stop hole. I meant that there is still a good chance they sign valentin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
