Chisoxfn Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Ya I'm pretty happy too, unless of course it was a 4 yr 8 mill deal cause in thats case I'd of been all for it, lol. I'm assuming ESPN News will have Gammons or someone on pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Just curious, anyone know how much Vinny signed for??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 It was funny, when the guy announced the dollar figures on ESPN News he essentially started laughing and was like wow thats a lot of money to give Christian Guzman. Then he saw Castilla's road splits and was laughing even more, lol. STUPID MOVES, really stupid moves. Well Vinny may not be all that bad, if in fact he is being paid relatively cheap.

Chisoxfn Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Just curious, anyone know how much Vinny signed for??? ESPN news hasn't said yet, so I'm assuming its an undiclosed amount as of this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Yea I heard Gammons said the same thing. But this IS Gammons.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Not yet... I'm waiting for confirmation... I don't wanna get my hopes up. They said Bowden commented on the signing already with ESPN, although who knows. All I know is I'm so freaking happy the Sox didn't sign Guzman to that type of deal.

WHarris1 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Yea I heard Gammons said the same thing. But this IS Gammons..

SoxAce Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 The Gammons who has all the GMs cell phone numbers and is one of the most inside baseball men in the world. The same Gammons who has wrong several times, and is still human. Not saying he's wrong on this part, but I'm not gonna believe everything that comes out of his mouth.

Chisoxfn Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 OMFG, 2 year 6.2 million for Vinny Castilla, bahahaaa. On the downside, all this money being dished out could be a sign that owners are going to be throwing around a lot of money, meaning hte price of FA's will be driven up. God, two stupid ass contracts, WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more because the fact that something feel through. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Gammons doesn't make stuff up. He's one of the best in the business, but he goes out on a limb quite often and because of it he's gonna get burned. However, he does get a lot of good information and I'm glad he's around because he makes things a lot more interesting. Like Rex has said a few times, these guys hear things and then say them and I'd rather have it that way then them waiting and waiting until the stuff finally happened. IT would be so so boring. Part of the fun is speculating what can happen and then hearing rumors and getting excited about different possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
