nitetrain8601 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) Well, looks like BMac will be taking the Neal Cotts route. I think more people teams would've seen Contreras more attractive with just the 1 year deal at the deadline so if he flops or they don't like him, they don't have to worry about it. I like Contreras alot though, so I'm glad we resigned him. I hope this isn't an April Fools Joke. I would be pissed if it was.

If he starts 2006 like he did 2005, he might not be so easy to trade. He may win the CY award this year, or he may revert back to the inconsistant Contreras we are all used to.

South Side Fireworks Man Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 This better not be an April Fool's joke. Contreras @ 29M for three years is a STEAL in today's market. Contreras has a shot at the Cy Young award if he continues to pitch as he is able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but he has proven that he can win now, other teams might gamble for a pitcher at that price. I just don't get why you make this deal with BMac being here.

Buehrle is signed through 2006, with a team option for 2007 Garcia is signed through 2007 Vazquez is signed through 2007 Garland is signed through 2008 If new deal is true, Contreras would be signed through 2009.

RME JICO Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) Same contract as Garland? I thought they he wanted more than that before they broke off negotiations. If it is true, that is a bargain. Edited April 1, 2006 by RME JICO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
