Balta1701 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 QUOTE (BFirebird @ Dec 4, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) If $35-$36M is what Figgins ends up getting. What does this mean for Beltre? What should he expect? Beltre ought to get 1/2 that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 5, 2009 -> 12:15 PM) I wouldn't hesitate to give him 4/$30M Then you're just giving Boras what he wants. Beltre shouldn't get more than $20 million for 3 years with the year he just came off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattZakrowski Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 5, 2009 -> 01:15 PM) I wouldn't hesitate to give him 4/$30M Agreed, but I think he could be had for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Obviously I'm not going to throw out an initial offer of 4/$30M but if I'm running a team that's in need of a 3B, have the money available and that's what the market dictates then yeah, I'd be willing to shell out $30M for Adrian Beltre and feel comfortable with it.

Good re-signing for them. Is that Sizemore kid going to play 2B for them with no Polanco or are they going to sign someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he did in San Francisco did not justify $7.5 million. I understand it's only a one year commitment, but that seems a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it's only a one year commitment, but that seems a bit much. Yep, it looks pretty bad. 41.2 decent IP, a healthy season of play and good velocity got him $7.5M guaranteed, crazy. It looks like Randy Wolf is going to get 3 years from the Brewers, so like always teams are willing to fork over big money to starting pitching and when the free agent class is as weak as it is this year there's going to be some bad money handed out.

Kalapse Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Players offered arbitration and their decisions: ACCEPTED Rafael Betancourt Rafael Soriano. That's huge, that Atlanta bullpen just got significantly stronger and significantly more expensive. There almost has to be a trade made here.

Now he is just baggage, especially as he offers little as a backup. Maybe the Nats can record tapes of him (since he probably won't be ready in 3 years) when Bryce Harper (who they will probably pick) is ready to emerge to learn a thing or two? I don't know.
