Rhetorical, right?

 

 

No, I honestly feel it's borderline. If he gets on one last hot tear and rattles off 10 homers to close the year and ends with a .270 average it'll be a good year, but if he stays at .255-.260 and doesn't get much more pop it'll be a real disappointment. Obviously the days of him hitting anything over .275 are far behind him.

5.56 mil a year for those stats isn't bad.

What contract are you reading?

Frank Thomas and the Toronto Blue Jays finalized an $18.12 million, two-year contract Friday.

 

The Blue Jays reached a tentative deal with the 38-year-old designated hitter Wednesday night and spent Thursday working on drafting an agreement.

 

Thomas gets a $9.12 million signing bonus that is payable in January, a $1 million salary next year and $8 million in 2008. The deal includes a $10 million vesting option for 2009 that would become guaranteed if Thomas has 1,000 plate appearances in the next two seasons or 525 plate appearances in 2008.

1 mil salary + 4.56 signing bonus (9.12 split over two years) = 5.56 mil

Thomas got the full $9.12M signing bonus in January of '07. You have to look at it as either $10.12M this year or $1M, there is no middle ground.

Before some else brings up Thome, I will. lol

 

AVG .264 | HR 20 | RBI 63 | OBP .413 | SLG .502

 

Sal 15 mil

not sure what he's costing the sox though.

Somewhere around $11 million I believe.

 

Edit, just checked Kalapses salary sheet.

 

He is making $14MM a year and Philly is paying $5.5

His slugging is way down.

 

More importantly, he's been awful against right handers: .236/.349/.398/.747

 

He has more than three times as many atbats against right handers than left handers so I would say that's not very good.

 

Not sure where you're getting those numbers from.

 

When I look at ESPN, he's batting an awesome .300/.463/.591/1.054 against righties. Basically twice as many at bats against righties as lefties.

dunno what you are looking at, but against righties he is batting .236/.348/.399/.747 in 313 at bats. Against lefties he is batting .330/.436/.637/1.073 in 91 at bats.

It's not that simple. His official salary listed this year is 1 million dollars.

 

 

So then the Blue Jays paid Frank a $9 million signing bonus to take the winter off in 2007.

 

Don't let a signing bonus misguide you in his average contract. The money is accounted for somwhere.

 

Let's say the Sox signed A-Rod to a 5 year contract and game him $125 million as a signing bonus in 2008 and $5 mill per year for the next 5. Would he really be considered underpaid by you when compared to other SS's since he's getting $5 mill. per year. Would you say KW is a genius for signing A-Rod for Uribe money?
