Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Kenny Williams is getting his ducks in a row before the Winter Meetings -- jettisoning Jenks, picking up Pierzynski, getting Dunn's deal -- and now picking up the no-brainer $2.75M option on Alexei Ramirez. It's a good bet that the KW and Ramirez come to terms on a long-term deal before camp is over.

I would think

that they’d want to wait until a little bit into the season to talk to him about an extension. Save a few more bucks for free-agent signings/trades.

by SteveKerr on Dec 3, 2010 1:47 AM CST reply actions  

hes already being paid 2.75 million this year

the extension would kick in next year

they don't like to talk in-season extensions

only did it with Buehrle because the alternative was Buehrle in a different color Sox

by The Cheat on Dec 3, 2010 1:49 AM CST up reply actions  

they need to get el duque back to get the extension.

or was contreras the guy that hand delivered alexei?

if anyone has espn insider

what does keith law say beyond this:


In the short term, signing Adam Dunn for four years and $56 million looks really, really good for Chicago. The White Sox add a player who, with a career-low 67 unintentional walks last season, would still have led the team in that category. They add an extreme fly ball hitter to a ballpark noted for turning fly balls into home runs. And they keep Dunn away from the outfield, preferably away from the field entirely. Chicago got an unacceptable line of .247 AVG/.332 OBP/.396 SLG from its DH spot in 2010, a line boosted by about 150 at-bats from Paul Konerko and Manny Ramirez, both now free agents. Dunn hasn’t posted an OBP under .350 or slugged under .490 in the past seven seasons, and if he doesn’t pick up a glove but rolls out there for 600 plate appearances, he’s probably a four-win upgrade for Chicago.

in a nutshell

it makes them better now, will cost alot, and he thinks they might have overpaid, because he didn’t see “any other teams holding an empty bag” after he’d been signed. he doesn’t see any here, and thinks the sox might have overpaid / bid against themselves / there wasn’t much of a market for Dunn.

Bill James on Santo and the HOF:

Players who were nowhere near as good as Ron Santo were elected to the Hall of Fame in the 1960s, players who were nowhere near as good as Ron Santo were elected to the Hall of Fame in the 1970s (lots of them), players who were nowhere near as good as Ron Santo were elected into the Hall of Fame in the 1980s, and players who were nowhere near as good as Ron Santo were elected to the Hall of Fame in the 1990s…. Look, certain things just do not happen. Rivers do not run uphill, iron does not become gold, time does not go backward, whores do not become virgins, pigs do not give birth to lions, supermodels do not marry auto mechanics, and politicians do not forget about the next election. There is no alchemy by which the Hall of Fame may become what it never has been. Ron Santo towers far above the real standard for the Hall of Fame."

I don't see the uproar.

I personally have only heard him broadcast maybe 5 minutes. So I can only go on other’s opinions of his broadcasting skills. However…

Being such an awful broadcaster in many’s opinions I think is what made him who he is. He was Ron Santo… great baseball player, and (probably) a terrible broadcaster. We should embrace both of those aspects when remembering the type of person he was. But we should also embrace the fact that he was a die-hard Cubs fan, despite witnessing over half a century of inept baseball, even unto his death, and for that he deserves the utmost respect and pity.

by Tdogg on Dec 3, 2010 12:06 PM CST up reply actions  

It is possible that Jerry had set aside (budgeted) a certain amount to be used in 2010 for such expenditures

And it’s possible he wrote that money off, and that money was going to be spent on something. That is possible. I don’t deny that.

But there was always an option to hold that money, not spend it, and apply it towards the 2011 budget.

If one has a limited amount of money (as JR must) then pissing on some of it doesn’t make much sense, when that money can be saved and later spent on something more useful.
