November 18, 200520 yr its just over 12,000 voters so far but it seems liek the country shares our sentiments. 74% dont' think he's worth it the other 26% must be Mets fans.
November 19, 200520 yr AJ isn't worth the risk for 3 yrs/$30M..... or 2 yrs/$20M. In fact, he isn't even worth the $10M per.....even if he stays healthy. Who's going to pay that for a less than .500 flamethrower with lack of control? :thumbdown I know, I know...there are likely more than one GM out there with enough cash to throw around to take the chance. :banghead
November 19, 200520 yr Yeah, players never have a chance to improve when they go to a new league or team...
November 19, 200520 yr Yeah, players never have a chance to improve when they go to a new league or team... We'll just have to see, I guess. :whistle
November 19, 200520 yr For the 5 or 6 teams that money means absolutely nothing to, he's worth the risk. And, FWIW, the length is what would scare me, not the money.
November 19, 200520 yr Yeah, players never have a chance to improve when they go to a new league or team... You gotta admit though going with a 5 year 65 million contract to a pitcher is a huge risk/reward situation especially for a guy who has had his share of injuries. Pitchers rarely get 5 year contracts and theres a good a reason why. AJ is one hell of a pitcher and I'm sure will have an amazing few year, but when dealing with that kind of money, I'm not really sure it's worth it for an unproven pitcher that could just as easily be the same AJ we have seen his whole career rather than the 20 game winner he should be.
November 20, 200520 yr You don't give a pitcher who has had Tommy John surgery a 5 year deal, no matter what.
