i’ve always been a baseball fan, but when Vlad signed with the angels, that is probably the point where i started to get really interested in the game as a whole, how FA and the draft works, etc. I miss that guy

I clicked on the Todd Van Poppel Rookie Card Retirement Plan link, and an even more interesting read is his conspiracy theory about keeping fans out of Oakland’s stadium, in essence paving the way for their move to San Jose. Great research and a great read!

David Price would be smart to look at the bad contracts signed by Longoria, Pedroia, and Youkas before he signs long term. He would be better off going the route of
Tim Linceum.

Maybe, but he’d also be gambling that he’d be able to stay healthy through his arbitration years.

The draft doesn’t seem to produce as many star players as you think in the first round. In the last few years only 18 star players were picked in the first round. Of those 18 players 14 were in the first seven picks. Those players were picked by bottom teams. They are Zimmerman, Brawn,Tulo, Upton,Verlander, Grienke, Fielder, Gonzolez, Mauer, Texeira,Hamilton,Beckett, Longoria, and Price. Of those players only Verlander, Price, Longoria, and Beckett pitched for their original team in the world series. Beckett being the only player to win the series with the original team the marlins. That team supplimented their team with free agents to win. This would lead you to believe that you can’t win with draft picks alone, and that first round picks are more expensive and just as risky as 3rd or 4th round picks.

im pretty sure Vlad’s deal with the angels was 5 yr. at $70 mil. with the $15 million opt. which made the deal 6 yr $85 million. for a player like Vlad i think the Angels got there moneys worth. can’t say that about to many teams these days. Boy have things changed, and in only 6 years. somebody has got to put a stop to these blowup contracts. Bud Selig needs to induce a cap or scott boras needs to retire.

Is the Billy Goat blog high? No way in hell the Cubs would trade Brett Jackson for someone like Kelly Johnson. I’m really hoping that piece was written tongue in cheek.

how is the Red Sox farm system ranked 19th? Just because we got rid of Kelly & Rizzo did we drop that low?

The soriano move was an act of desperation to make up for all the big fish they lost out on.

Yes, the Billy Goat article was tongue firmly planted in cheek.
