December 5, 200421 yr According to the Seattle Times, the Mariners' three-year offer to Jaret Wright is worth about $9 million, not $15 million. Sometimes it's really hard to take Bill Bavasi's team seriously. It looks like the White Sox remain the favorites to sign Wright. Per Rotoworld. Now how many of you would be against giving Wright a 3 year deal worth $12 million?
December 5, 200421 yr Per Rotoworld. Now how many of you would be against giving Wright a 3 year deal worth $12 million? I loved Wrights arm when he was with the Indians, but his health scares me.
December 5, 200421 yr The 3 yr $9 mill offer is a joke, seeing how a guy like Paul Wilson got over $4 mill a yr for 2 yrs. Wright is a no-brainer for ATL to go to arb. with, so any team will lose a draft pick. The only thing that could be holding up a potential signing is Wright and his agent waiting on other teams to submit offers. If teams haven't by now, I don't see many suddenly going after him unless bigger names start dropping off the board. [which should take more time]. Lesser guys like Ortiz seem closer to signing than big names like Pavano, Radke, Pedro.
December 5, 200421 yr Im not sold on him yet. He gives up a low hr total and low hit totals. But his BB/IP scares me a bit especially since he pitched in the horrible NL.
December 5, 200421 yr But I'll tell ya what, if we do get wright, we will have 5 pitchers with a huge upside. I think we know what kind of pitcher buehrle is, a workhorse who'll give ya a 3.5-4 era year in and year out. Garcia,Contreras,Wright,Garland could give u sub 3 era and could give you 5+ era...... If things come together though in the rotation, we will be a favorite to win the world series. I'll get some laughs from this but it is true. How many teams would have 5 dominant pitchers and a solid offense?
December 5, 200421 yr Per Rotoworld. Now how many of you would be against giving Wright a 3 year deal worth $12 million? Four million per year would be an absolute steal, IMHO. Three years, twelve million, sign me up. Like CS05 said, durability with him scares me, but at four million per year, for a guy who has stuff that can dominate, wow...
December 5, 200421 yr Author Im not sold on him yet. He gives up a low hr total and low hit totals. But his BB/IP scares me a bit especially since he pitched in the horrible NL. He was 35th in the MLB in K/BB, and his overall WHIP was 25th best in the MLB.
December 5, 200421 yr I still have a feeling he'll be a Brave. That said, Kenny could answer our nagging rotation problem with this signing. I'm hopeful it goes down. Let's just not overpay for a guy that never pitched over 200 innings in a season.
December 5, 200421 yr Honestly I think we would should sign him... The guy has talent and he's cheaper then any of our other options. IMO it will be awesome when Danny Wright is in the pen in 06' and Jaret Wright is in our rotation winning 15 games...Ohh well I just woke up...
December 5, 200421 yr Author I still have a feeling he'll be a Brave. That said, Kenny could answer our nagging rotation problem with this signing. I'm hopeful it goes down. Let's just not overpay for a guy that never pitched over 200 innings in a season. No he won't. Atlanta is going to offer arbitration, and he'll most likely reject it because he only made $850,000 last year and I believe arbitration can only double a player's salary. Atlanta has $40 million locked up in Andruw, Chipper, and Smoltz for next season, which is half of their expected payroll. If this report is true, we would essentially be giving Omar's money to Wright. Which means we could still afford trading for Randy Johnson. Johnson Buehrle Garcia Wright Contreras But like I said, it would take a lot of to make it happen.
December 5, 200421 yr please.... shut.up.about.randy. oh... and did i mention.... please.... shut.up.about.randy. NO HAPPENING change your sig much? thank you, and goodnight
December 5, 200421 yr please.... shut.up.about.randy. oh... and did i mention.... please.... shut.up.about.randy. NO HAPPENING change your sig much? thank you, and goodnight
December 5, 200421 yr please.... shut.up.about.randy. oh... and did i mention.... please.... shut.up.about.randy. NO HAPPENING change your sig much? thank you, and goodnight It would be great if we did get him though, wouldn't it? Just for a moment, imagine that rotation in the playoffs... Johnson Garcia Buehrle Wright Contreras Ahhhh....kind of feels like you are in a nice, warm bath.
December 5, 200421 yr it would be very freakin nice to get johnson, but like i said.... ain't happenin brother
December 5, 200421 yr Author change your sig much? thank you, and goodnight No, actually I had this sig for awhile. I'm also not the only one who thinks acquiring Johnson is a slight possibility, as evident by one of the Administrators PREDICTING Johnson will be in a Sox uni. Maybe you should change your sig because I don't recall seeing the Sox in the postseason last year.
December 5, 200421 yr happy days for you and me no, really, your right... randy johnson will be a chicago white sox ace starting tomarrow.... wait, im sorry... the trade is going down in about 15 seconds, so by the time u read this, RJ will be wearing our colors happy days, for you... and me awwww... have some wub
December 5, 200421 yr If JR is the starting pitcher to go in the rotation for 2005 forget it. He is a hugh ????
December 5, 200421 yr a huge question mark? give me a break, the guy freakin had an era of like 2.8 or something
December 5, 200421 yr It would be great if we did get him though, wouldn't it? Just for a moment, imagine that rotation in the playoffs... Johnson Garcia Buehrle Wright Contreras Ahhhh....kind of feels like you are in a nice, warm bath. No no it does not... I do not want Randy Johnson... Ide rather keep Garland
December 5, 200421 yr What you people fail to realize is signing Johnson leaves us with a 3rd Place offense.... JUST SAY NO TO RJ!
December 5, 200421 yr jeckel... a team with a starting rotation of RJ, garcia, burly, contreras, and a FA signing like wright is in no way shape or form going to end up third... expecally in the AL central.... thats a WS contending team right there on pitching alone excuse me while i go throw up now
December 5, 200421 yr What you people fail to realize is signing Johnson leaves us with a 3rd Place offense.... JUST SAY NO TO RJ! We get it, every thread that mentions his name you do not have to say you do not want him and that we would be in third place. Same thing with anything that might jeopardize uribe's or willie's playing time. I do not really want him either but you do not see me mentioning that every single chance i get.
