RockRaines Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 A-row may very well price himself out of the place that he wants to play the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 10:23 AM) Rowand at 14x6 = bad (and never going to happen anyway) Rowand at 10x4, though, is worth serious consideration. Yep. And a Boras-represented declining Andruw Jones isn't even worth thinking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'd just as well try to swing a deal for a forgotten Cfer. Maybe the Angels would willing to part with Juan Rivera (they seem to have filled there OF and he wasn't exactly starting a ton for them even after coming back from injury). He's also a guy that in 2 of his 3 full seasons has posted an 800+ OPS and the other season posted an OPS in the .700 range. He has a strong arm and can play all 3 OF positions. Not sure how many more years he has left till FA, but he doesn't have a ton of service time for a 29 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 10:56 AM) He's a free agent after the '08 season. Well that makes it a little tougher, but I think he'd be the type of guy you could trade for and get to sign a relatively fair extension (for far less money than Arow and the other class of OF's gets). Of course there is some risk to this since he's coming back from a leg injury, but If he passes his physicals I don't see why he couldn't get back to his old form (hell just before he broke his leg last off-season the Angels and many were predicting he could really turn into an above average ballplayer. That was based on the fabulous second half of the season he had with the Angels that year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Remember when $3 million a year was considered "a lot" for this guy? hope this isn't in the wrong forum.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) If you people think Rowand is looking for alot of money your really going to be shocked when Hunter signs for 18-20 Mil per year.

Milkman delivers Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I don't even feel like reading the thread. I just want to put my opinion in here. Rowand's not worth half that. Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is shocked. Everyone here realizes that Hunter wants that. That still has nothing to do with Rowand not being worth 14 million, hell he isnt worth 10 million.

Wanne Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Of course he's gonna say he wants that much. I'd take him at 5/$50M...though. Hell...he could get Konerko money...who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
