if wilson gets less than lackey/burnett, someone’s getting a steal
Rabbitov
So you mean if the Sox or Yankees get him they are getting a steal?
notsureifsrs
probably a migraine too in those two cases

There is no way Wilson only gets $65 million, even after a poor postseason. He is likely short of the $100 million club, by I could still easily see $85 mil given to him.

$85 over 5 or 6 years? and there could be a club option or two depending on the guaranteed length of the deal.
john
he is 31 years old converted reliever…..sounds like a contract the yankees would pick up. Please stay far away jon daniels

Agreed. The money is better spent elsewhere. People are now getting an idea of Wilson’s lack of consistency as an “ace” pitcher.

I’d thought for a bit that I’d like to see the Angels go after Wilson, but at 5 years, $80+mil, I’d stay away… I’d rather see them acquire a solid innings eater/4th starter (Mark Buehrle), and save the money for the bullpen/catching spot…
AND… another recent post on this site mentions Barry Zito, John Lackey, and AJ Burnett as reasons why CJ Wilson will also get a big contract… If anything, those 3 examples should be examples as to why he SHOULDN’T…

Well, in CJ’s defense he’s better than all those guys. But I agree he still shouldn’t get Cliff Lee like money or even $100mm. I think if I’m the Rangers I tell him 5/$80 and tell him to take it or leave it. I love him, but I don’t think he’s worth any more than that (and I’d argue that even that might be overpaying a little).

We aren’t done yet!

Oh, and I hate Nelson Cruz.

I think I speak for all Giants fans…
Thank you Nelson for waiting a year to show up! 🙂

Nelson Cruz has a 258 OBP and a 655 SLG this post season. Small sample size or not, thats one of the wackiest slash lines I’ve ever seen
Patrick OKennedy
CJ Wilson for CC? sounds fair.
DutchTiger
Wouldn’t mind CJ on the tigers as #2-3 for $65mm for 4-5 years
