qwerty Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 27, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) There's a big thread over at WSI about trading for Helton. I believe Helton's contract calls for something like $10-12 million per year, with something like $100 million on it. If you could get Colorado to pay something like $3 million a year for the rest of the contract, you could send back a package centered around Konerko (a year or two younger than Helton, IIRC), as well as an arm like Tracey. Helton isn't just a Coors Field guy, and you know that Kenny isn't looking for a guy that might help us win the division. He's gonna find the guy who's gonna help us win a title. Todd Helton: 9-Year worth 141.5M- will make in 2003- 10.6M, in 2004- 11.6M, in 2005-12.6M, in 2006- 16.6M, in 2007-16.6M, in 2>008- 16.6M. in 2009-16.6M, in 2010-16.6M, in 2011- 19.1M and in 2012- Team option 23M or 4.6M buyout- + has ability to void deal after 2007 and become a Free Agent, if he notifies the team of his decision by Nov. 15, 2006- + he has a complete NO-TRADE clause- + BONUSES he has received: 25K bonus for 2004 All-Star, 25K for 2004 Gold Glove Agent: Michael Moye Service Time: 7.059 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly8509CWS Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 27, 2005 -> 09:04 AM) Anyone know our realistic chances of getting Todd Helton or Adam Dunn? Seriously though, it would take ALOT more than I think Kenny would give up. After one of my finals CWSGuy and I argued with a few people about how good Adam Dunn really is. He was compared by CWSGuy to "Barry Bonds Jr." I don't think either move IS realistic at all. Edited May 28, 2005 by Pauly8509CWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 QUOTE(qwerty @ May 27, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) Don't you think he'd like to get out of a situation where he is almost guaranteed to never win, and go to one where he atleast has a shot? If I had to take a guess, I'd say he would accept almost any trade, unless it were going to like Tampa Bay or Kansas City - hell, he may even accept a trade to KC.

But what i never understand is when great players resign with s***ty teams when they could have easily gotten as much if not more from a far superior team. Why would he except kansas city? Just for s***s and giggles or what? Edited May 28, 2005 by qwerty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Regardless of whether or not Helton would accept a trade to the Sox, I can't see them taking on those salaries from 2007 on. That's nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I can't stand Crede. Whenever I see him play, he sucks offensively! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
