mac9001 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 This is good news for us, now we know that Cruz will cost around 2 mil (cause he ain't getting 4 mil), but i still don't see the Sox's going after him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I hope Cruz can sing and act as well as play baseball....cause he ain't getting $4 million playing this year. Are players this f***ing stupid? They are that dumb to realize that prices have gone down because about 75% of the teams are REDUCING their salary rather than INCREASING them? God....these ballplayers are morons....I wonder how half of them made it out of the 6th grade....it's called common sense. When the markets are down, the prices are down....that's not that hard to figure out. This along with the fact that Kenny Rogers thinks he is going to get about $7 million this year....jeezus...can't players take a hint? BTW, baggs....we can only hope that something happens this year and JR is forced to open up the checkbook...I do want to resign Colon, Buehrle, Thomas...who not. And I don't think Thomas will be gone next year...unless he wants to leave(as he can void out of his deal)....because if JR has anything to say about it, Frank Thomas will be a member of the White Sox for the next 4 years. And isn't Garland arbitration eligible after this year, or is it next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And isn't Garland arbitration eligible after this year, or is it next year? jr really doesnt have to open it up that much..65 million and were fine..plus with al lthe all star crap he could easily go 75 million next year.. garland came up in '00..has been here all of '01 and '02...so after this year he will be eligable fo arbitration...he is looking at a couple , maybe 3 million depending on this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Garland's worth it....IMO anyways. Let's see....we will have the home run derby, the celebrity soft-ball game after that, then the actual All-Star game, and then everything that goes along with it....the tickets will cost a lot of money....and we'll probably bring in about 55,000 for that....so say the tickets are $150 a piece....that alone is about $8,250,000 and that doesn't include refreshments and the home run derby attendance and what not else. Hell, that's enough to pay for Colon's salary....so we're essentially getting him for free(although I assume the MLB has to take some of the money from the All-Star game...don't they?)....regardless, they could sell another $500,000 in refreshments and the giftshop what not and about $5,000,000 if we go by these standards for the home run derby....we could be raking in a lot of money in that 3-day set.....possibly $15 mill....or so. That's a lot of damn money. If all my math could be somewhat close to the right answers....then I don't see why our payroll couldn't be at about $80 mill in 2004(especially if 2003 is a big winner)....jeez, this organization could be starting a dynasty if things go right....knowing our luck, they won't(though that has got to change sometime). But about this All-Star game/World Series home field advantage....you don't suppose Selig's doing that to increase interest to draw more fans to help out his good buddy Uncle Jerry, do you?

LDF Posted January 25, 2003 Author Share Posted January 25, 2003 i always thought hendrick's, cruz's agent was a little smart. but this demand of 4 mil has me thinking that maybe cruz is getting some bad advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
