but what's his salary this year? 15.8MM? what's the lowest offer he might take in 2008 that doesn't bruise his ego too much?
― sanskrit, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:46 (sixteen years ago) link
it wasn't 20M this year?
How about 8 + incentives?
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
The Tigers have used something like 10 left fielders this year and could benefit in '08 from cutting the number down to three or four. But hey, like a couple writers in Detroit have said, Bonds' best years are behind him and he hasn't even hit 30 HRs this year. He is paid to hit home runs, after all. (And besides, with a .483 OBP he is clearly a base clogger.)

it was $15.8 plus $5 in incentives (based on criteria which his agent says he easily surpassed).

Gary Huckabay: Anaheim, for the league minimum, after ARod signs there, and they trade for Johan Santana.

What was the general feeling among Cardinal fans about signing him? I think the thing that might have turned Beane off was that A's die-hards seemed so resolutely opposed to the idea.

I believe they colluded. Anyone here think he'll try to play in '09 or is he really done?
He should sprinkle some hgh on his nutsack and get busy in the offseason.
