santo=dorf Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 From reading some Brewers boards, the Brewers will hold a press conference at 3:45 to announce they have signed Ben Sheets to a 4 year- $38 million deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Why are pitchers all of the sudden extending their contracts for less than market-value, especially after this offseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 :banghead Oh well, we wouldn't have got him anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 It certainly doesn't make much sense that guys like Santana and Sheets are signing these deals. If Pavano can get 4 years and $40 million, just think what guys like Santana and Sheets could get on the open market. That doesn't seem like the best financial decision. I guess team loyalty just means more to some guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Excellent signing by Doug Melvin. He locked up the ony guy he was hoping for. It's nice to see loyalty, no matter how slight, still exists in the world of sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I can see guys be loyal... but why be loyal to a team like the brewers who are losers and with the cubs and cardinals spending money they arent going to win that division.

CWSGuy406 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Damn. That's a nice signing there for the Brew Crew. Well, at least there's another pitcher who will dominate the Cubby lineup for the next few years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackie hayes Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Maybe I'm the only one, but I'd sign that deal too. A lot can happen over the course of a year. I'd rather have $40 mil as a sure thing than the risky prospect of $50 mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money isn't everything to everyone. Maybe he wants to help build a winner in Milwaukee? Maybe he and his wife would like to raise their children in Milwaukee? Maybe he loves it in Milwaukee?

He definitely signed for under what his market value is but I think he'll be ok making 38 mill over 4 years, I think he'll be able to feed his children(if he has any) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 To conclude all the talk of acquiring Sheets in a midseason trade is over, not that the sox had any chance of getting him but its really no now. He signed a 4 year contract with the Brew crew... http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=mlb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 With their elite prospects (weeks, Fielder, Rogers, and Cappellan) look out. THis team has long term success as a real possibility. THis wittles the free agetn pitcher market down to guys like Burnett, Morris and Millwood now that Cris Carpetner has also resigned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
