Balta1701 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Cheaper than I thought he'd be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Good. He probably could have gotten more on the open market though, especially years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Anyone still think Rowand's only getting $7 mill. a year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Rowand - AVG .315 | HR 16 | RBI 62 | OBP .384 | SLG .513 | 6 SB Byrnes - AVG .303 | HR 17 | RBI 64 | OBP .365 | SLG .497 | 28 SB The biggest difference is Byrnes speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 well, Byrnes has been the better player over the past 2 years, and they are both relatively the same age, I see Rowand getting a similar deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 for a guy who was cut by the orioles not too long ago brynes has turned himself into a solid player....im not so sure he will keep it up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Surprised they would do this with all those outfielders they have coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan77 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Just makes you think how well they like their OF spect to have him there another 3 years.. Yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Maybe we pry away some of their talented OFs for Garland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 i guess they will keep on OF of brynes young and upton...i guess they have really soured on carlos quentin and dont think jackson will cut it in the OF...but even with that cluster jam you have carlos gonzalez not too far off....maybe they will try to move upton back to the IF ?

BearSox Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well, I think this is officially the end of Carlos Quention, and with their logjam at the CI as well, probably the end for Conor Jackson or Chad Tracey as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 While I'd have loved to seen Byrnes on the Sox (I wanted that post Rowand)...I think it's a tad much. I actually think this was somewhat of a PR move by Arizona as well. He's easily their most popular player as well as one of the most productive. Their PR move of bringing back Randy Johnson didn't work out to well...and they caught a boatload of public crap for the handling of Luis Gonzalez. Crowded outfield.

GreatScott82 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 With Ichiru and Byrnes signing to deals, its looking more and more as if the Sox are going to re-sign Rowand. Lets face it, they are not going to spend the big cash on Hunter or Andruw Jones. Its most likely going to be an OF of Dye, Rowand and Owens. Or Dye, Owens and Fields while Crede remains the 3B.

I eat Cheeriu's in the morning. And this move has absolutely no effect on Aaron Rowand and the White Sox. It has a slight effect on the White Sox, and a bigger effect on Rowand, but not the two together. Please, don't think it does. It's also funny to see how some people think he is getting overpaid, when really this is a below market contract. He really probably could have gotten atleast 5 years from a team, and perhaps somewhere around $11-12 mill per. Still, all things considered this is probably a solid move by the DBacks.

Balta1701 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(Wanne @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 12:18 AM) They have some serious young talent on that team. Which might be why they want to spend the money to hold onto one or two of their popular, veteran, ballplayers who seem to both be good people and who are putting up good numbers. Especially if they give the team a discount. Edited August 8, 2007 by Balta1701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHAMBARONS Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 QUOTE(iamshack @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 11:43 AM) Surprised they would do this with all those outfielders they have coming up. It was all PR. The owners read how much the average Joe fan liked Byrnes so they undercut the GM Josh Byrnes and made this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
