June 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 10:03 PM) Over like 20 years. That's how desperate he is for funds, he's willing to give up any tv revenue growth over 2 decades. He's getting $385 million upfront. $150 million would go to his divorce. The team gets an immediate $235 million shot in the arm. He'd be sitting pretty. McCourt is probably the only owner Bud wouldn't allow this. McCourt is most likely an ass, but Bud and his brothers approved him for membership. Now they should treat him like everyone else.

June 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 11:19 PM) Where is the additional debt here? What else would you call money given out early in exchange for an extremely long term contract. Might not be booked as debt but that's all it is. Fox is loaning on future tv revenues.
June 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 10:21 PM) Where is the additional debt here? Unearned Revenue for the Accounting 101 guys.
June 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) They wouldn't owe Fox anything. Fox would still owe them. Its only about 2 years of the Fox deal. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/unearn...p#axzz1QdEo90ov "When an individual or company receives money for a service or product that has yet to be fulfilled.

June 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 10:24 PM) Unearned Revenue for the Accounting 101 guys. Think of all the debt Dunn, Rios and Pierre accumulate every time they cash a paycheck. Just a play on words. Unearned Revenue is considered a liability until it is earned. Depending how the contract is structured it might be "earned" fairly quickly.

I know what it is, but unless you see the terms of the agreement you don't know when that $385 million is considered earned.

June 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 07:44 PM) Can someone just please give me the date that Viciedo can be called up to give us another year of control? It's the only thing I am focused on right now. .......

June 29, 201114 yr I am starting to believe that the only way that Viciedo gets up is if KW can move CQ. If JP is taken out of the lineup Ozzie is going to play De Aza or Lilli in LF to get his speedy leadoff guy at the top of the line-up. Dunn is not getting benched in favor of anyone. Viciedo could swap places with Morel but it sounds like the organization is committed to him being an OF. I think KW has a couple of deals up his sleeve, I think he will move one of the SP's (Danks) rather than relegating one to the bullpen and will move Quentin to open a spot for Viciedo and in making one of those moves will include Pierre and bring back another LF candidate.
June 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 09:34 AM) I am starting to believe that the only way that Viciedo gets up is if KW can move CQ. I seriously doubt that. He'll be up next week and wind up playing about 2 games per week the rest of the way with a PH here or there mixed in.
June 29, 201114 yr KW's goal is to have an outfield of Viciedo, Rios and Quentin next year. Another one of his goals is to have Rios leadoff next season.
June 29, 201114 yr WOw at those numbers above. How the f*** can you not inject your BEST minor league player who also happens to be one of the best hitters if not the best in his league into your offense which is muddling around at league avg. It makes ZERO f***ING SENSE. I know KW wants him up, so when is it the time when he overrules Ozzie>?

June 29, 201114 yr What's really scary about Viciedo is his numbers after April when he was coming back from that fractured thumb. May - .349 / .410 / .615 / 1.025 June - .377 / .400 / .547 / .947

June 29, 201114 yr I really don't understand how Viciedo isn't a top 15-20 prospect in all of baseball.
