January 26, 200521 yr If Delgado finishes 2nd in MVP voting to Barry Bonds, he gets $50k if its anyone else, he gets nothing
January 26, 200521 yr Yes that was odd....but probably a request from Delgado since he probably believes he doesn't have much of a chance at NL MVP as long as Barry is around.
January 26, 200521 yr The writers may be more cautious of voting for Barry now that it's been proven he's been juicing. Say hello to Carlos Delgado, your 2005 NL MVP.
January 26, 200521 yr Author Say hello to Carlos Delgado, your 2005 NL MVP. 668049[/snapback] please erase that.
January 26, 200521 yr Who knows how long Barry will be around for that matter... 668053[/snapback] Honestly, I could care a less if he retires next year.

January 26, 200521 yr This is a very interesting contract. The option for the fifth season can be vested, and that becomes an option by a unique point system. Points will be rewarded on a scale of 1 to 10 regarding the regular season MVP, and a similar system will be setup for the LCS and WS MVP. This all comes down to Delgado and his performance on the field. It gives him an added incentive to work hard on and off the field.

Delgado didnt get teh better end of that deal and I wonder if he even looks at it as a realistic possibility. Because, Barry is certainly not going to play another 5 years.

I made all those threads a few days ago welcoming Delgado to the fish when the O's and Mets were still in it and look what happened :mischief . When I jinx something, it actually happens :plain.
January 26, 200521 yr Kevin Millwood also gets a huge bonus if he wins the "Silver Slugger" award. As a pitcher. In the American League. Some of these clauses are pretty hilarious. I wonder what it's like to negotiate them.
