greasywheels121 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 These closers are getting a lot, in the past week. Will this be another bad contract for the Mets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 THat is a lot of money but if I was goign to give that money to a closer in baseball, Wagner would be among my first three choices. Also, given BJ Ryan's deal, this isn't as bad as it would have seemed a week ago. I respect the Mets for going for it all, even if it blows up in their faces( I will likely pick them to win the East though if they add a good catcher and a set-up man) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 You know, despite these signings and the Delgado move and such, I still don't look at Omar and call him one of the better general managers in baseball. With tons of money to work with in a situation where your team hasn't really developed any expectations, these moves don't scream "great baseball moves" at me. I dunno.

GoodAsGould Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I guess all they have left to do is trade Cliff Floyd or something for Manny Ramirez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 How much time will Wagner spend on the DL during thar contract? Jesus, what is Konerko going to get? 25 years 600 million? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Wagner is actually pretty durable. He's had some of those nagging things like a groin pull but its not like his labrum is damaged or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. the mets have always been about throwing money around and never really getting alot done. see: mo vaughn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSH2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Bobby Jenks' value is through the roof. He probably can't wait until he becomes a free agent. Of course, he will have to earn a bunch of saves until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I still cannot see paying a guy who pitches 80 innings over $10 Million a year. So what is the better deal. I say neither, but if I had to pick one I guess you go with the guy who is proven. Wagner for 4yr / $43 or Ryan for 5yr / $47? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagner is 34 years old and he will be 38 by the time his contract is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
