Connecting the dots...some prime real estate just went on the market. Hmmm...

TD lost me at "Front of the rotation starter"

I consider the front being 1-3 ... does that help?

Cory says " now that's a horse of a different story"

Mule Fritters!

What would spur a team to do something lame like that ?

[Troll Daddy]

I would offer a three year deal worth about $45M

First year at 10M - allows the team to spend on the offense while vastly improving our SP. It also allow us to trade some of our starters like Santiago and Shoemaker for relief pitching or position players.

Second year at 15M - Wilson money off the books

Third year at 20M - Hamilton money off the books

Very affordable for a gamer like Lackey

It doesn't really work like that. They take the average of the contract and that's what hits the luxury tax each year.

Sometimes I think all of these Lackey jokes are getting a little long in the tooth and should be out out to pasture or, at least reigned in and other times I get a real kick out of them.

Neigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello!    I'm Mr. John!

[ten ocho recon scout]

Im not saying i qould or would not like to have lackey back. But damn if i dont miss these threads.

Bottom line is lackey is a stud. the guy is a work horse, and i could see him bucking the trend of our starters only going 5 innings. Hes old, but i could see him jockeying for the front of the rotation

maybe john could talk to rams' owner stan groenke about building a nice new home on his inglewood property.

[Tank]

i'd love to add lackey to our stable of young pitchers.

[Tank]

the laughter would be uncontrollable if lackey signed with the phillies.

[Jay]

He might be good to have for the stretch run.

[JAHV76]

Knowing the Angels luck he would stumble out of the gates on the first appearance

I know this is more joke than anything, but John averaged 1 more inning per start than Santiago. Is that worth 12 million more a year and a loss of a draft pick?

[Tank]

here's the contract i would offer lackey:

 

3 years/ 30 mil

 

and then i'd load it up with all kinds of performance clauses, both personal accomplishments and team accomplishments. if lackey ends up earning 3/50, good for him, and good for the team (and fine by me).

But tank, you will then need to have drinks with him at the Goat Hill Tavern.

Lackey spotted eating lunch at Goat Hill

Is he a horse with no name?

It just goes to show you get better deals on foreign horses.

shame on you for missing an opportunity to say "you guys can strap on the ol' feed bag."
