WCSox Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm kind of surprised that Colon got a major-league deal, while Freddy could only muster a minor-league deal. Are there still serious velocity questions with Freddy? He doesn't seem that much less of an injury risk than Colon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy injured a shoulder, had surgery and had a re-occurence in Winter ball where he had to shut it down. That is what was scaring the GM from signing him and why he got a minor league deal.

I think it's one million guaranteed, and an extra $2 million in incentives possible, raising the total theoretical value to around $3 million. If that's the case, that's really a bargain compared to Garcia's deal I think....better to take a risk with Colon's motivation/weight/back than Garcia's shoulder, FWIW.
