Rowand44 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Eyre's a good addition for them but I wonder if they overpaid and by the sounds of it they probably did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 02:20 AM) Eyre's a good addition for them but I wonder if they overpaid and by the sounds of it they probably did. The stuff we're hearing is 3/11, which is way too much for him. Like I recently said, I'm very thankful the White Sox didn't sign him for even 3/9.

Heads22 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 So what this really seems to mean is my brother's Scott Eyre autographed ball will double in value to some idiot Cub fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Quick, everyone get in line. Jim Hendry is giving away money! Check this out. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-c...ov=ap&type=lgns CHICAGO (AP) -- Free-agent reliever Scott Eyre agreed to terms on a two-year, $11 million contract with the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. Financial terms of the deal, which includes a player option for the 2008 season, were still being negotiated. "We haven't worked all that out yet," Eyre's agent Tommy Tanzer said. "There is going to be a signing bonus." Eyre's contract calls for up to $300,000 a year in performance bonuses. He will receive $100,000 for 70 appearances and an additional $200,000 if he pitches in 80 games. There is also wording that would give Eyre additional money should he become the Cubs' closer. How does Scott Eyre get all that money to begin with and also get a signing bonus and performance bonuses? He's a 33 year old reliever who had one good season. Jim Hendry is insane.

knightni Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Bwahahahaha!!! And.. the Urinal Hopefuls will continue to hand over their money to pay that salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I think the Cubs just set Wagner's and Ryan's market value through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Josh Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 They might be paying more for Eyre in the last year of the contract than B.J. Ryan makes this year. Hell Eyre might make more than Ryan this year. What a dumbass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Well, I can see how they got him so quickly and easily. I couldn't imagine anybody else outbidding that deal. It's funny...he'd probably be, at best, the 4th best guy in the Sox bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Josh Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm guessing the contract will look something like this 2006: $4 Million 2007: $6 Million Buyout: $1 Million DUMBASSES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Cox almost never used him against left handed hitters. In fact lefties had 68 at bats against him compared to 174 at bats against righties.

And buyouts usually don't go for more than $1 Million unless they are superstars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 To put it in perspective... 2006 White Sox Salaries: Dustin Hermanson: $2M Cliff Politte: $1.2M Neal Cotts: $330,000 Bobby Jenks: Not available, but likely under $1M Pretty sure their combined 2006 salaries will barely crack $4 million. And if Eyre's contract is what they are saying it is, he might make more than our big 4 combined next year. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
