Don't expect Jose Contreras to be traded this season
I was going to write a recap before I read some dumb quotes about the future. In that recap, I planned to focus mainly on Contreras, and that if you paid attention to his stuff instead the results -- that is if you tried to objectively scout him without letting silly things like a Jose Guillen's "excuse me" double and Ichiro's free triple get in the way -- he had a pretty good outing. In fact it was probably his best outing of the season.
It appears that USS Mariner agrees, and is fully on board an attempt to acquire Contreras... Which is exactly the reason it won't happen. I mean listen to their closing paragraph

This ain't bad
We're not competing the next two years anyway, might as well keep the powder dry.

How is it a terrible signing?
And getting Dye for two years (the third year in an option) is quite the coup.

It's subjective...
Also, given Dye's first half it seems like a lot of money per year. Although I agree that 2 years with an option isn't terrible in terms of time. I assume JD or PK becomes a DH in 2009.

i dunno keith
JD looks awful in the outfield - and this is when he's supposedly healthy. it's only going to get worse out there. we already have two guys who are better than JD offensively who should be DHing (or should be soon). if thome were moved this could make some semblance of sense but thome is 1) cheaper and 2) better.
and i certainly don't buy that one month of being healthy is a trend for the future.
there isn't much to like about this signing.
