December 11, 200322 yr Just was given a rumor that says Brown to Yanks for Weaver, 2 prospects, and 3 million.
December 11, 200322 yr Author If Brown can remain healthy for an entire season + postseason the ball is back in Boston's court.
December 11, 200322 yr Well looks like its a done deal. Good move for the Dodgers because they get to unload browns contract. He was due 30mil over the next 2 years plus they get weaver who is still young and has a lot of upside.
December 11, 200322 yr Kevin Brown RHP LAD Signed Dec 1998 - 7 years/$105M 1999: $10.0M (+$5.0M signing bonus) 2000: $15.0M 2001: $15.0M 2002: $15.0M 2003: $15.0M 2004: $15.0M 2005: $15.0M Jeff Weaver RHP NYY Signed Jan 2002 - 4 years/$22M 2002: $2.4M 2003: $4.1M 2004: $6.25M 2005: $9.25M -Possible $700,000 in bonuses during the contract
December 11, 200322 yr that's great!!!! Weaver sucks and Brown is one of the best pitchers in baseball!!!
December 11, 200322 yr that's great!!!! Weaver sucks and Brown is one of the best pitchers in baseball!!! maybe he just needs a change of scenery
December 11, 200322 yr no idea yet on the 2 minor leaguers is there? Great trade for the Dodgers IMO. Moving that contract was big for them. Maybe they can get a few bats now.
December 11, 200322 yr :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead NO NO NO NO!!! I guess if one is okay with gluttony, you can think it is like paying only 7.5 million a year subtracting Weaver's salary, but the Yankee Payroll has to be close to 210,000,000 dollars after we finally sign Sheffield for real. Its a shame, the Yanks already had a great starting rotation. Here's what it is now: Mussina Brown Vasquez Contreras Lieber/Wells All of these guys could be 1 starters (Well Lieber was.) This is just insane, and I think Bartolome de Las Casas said it best: "Ill acquired wealth will make Spain the poorest country on Earth." Will Yankee fans be able to tolerate non-all star teams in the future? It can't keep going on like this, it is far too inefficient. Its crazy.
December 11, 200322 yr I hope it does not happen. Kelvin Brown was my favorite Dodgers player. :thumbdown :thumbdown :w00t :hat :hat
December 11, 200322 yr Is open the door for the Dodgers to go after Vlad, Pudge or Carlos Beltran. They want a bat...they need a bat Shawn Green can't do it all.
December 11, 200322 yr maybe he just needs a change of scenery Possibly. He was an adequate pitcher in Detroit, but I don't know. He changed his whole approach and style in New York, and when I saw him pitch at Yankee Stadium in July, he was AWFUL. Weaver could be good in LA I guess, but I doubt it.
December 12, 200322 yr are you saying Cesar Izturis' bat isnt good enough He's on his way to 500 homers he so good!
December 12, 200322 yr no idea yet on the 2 minor leaguers is there? Yhency Brazoban and Brandon Weeden
