In I believe year 4 (arbitration 2 since he was a super 2), Howards numbers were $14 vs $18 million. They settled on a 3 year deal, $15, $19, $20. Lincecum in year 5, was at $17 vs $21.5 million. Settled on a 2 year $18, $22.

Problem is this. In arbitration he will get around the $10 million in first year arbitration record that Howard got. And probably around the $17-20 million in arbitration 2 and 3. So that's $44 million, which sets him for life. And if you say that's not guaranteed, then why are we going to then guarantee $170 million to someone that will get injured? He will get paid. The question will really fall on Trout himself. Does he want to play in Anaheim? Because after he gets his $44ish million. He really has a chance to get a 10/$300+ million plus. So that's $174 million he'd leave on the table signing now.

And for those that missed it. They are airing this cinematic classic again tonight on syfy.

Well, Watson did almost win it 3 years ago. (Or something like that.)

LOL at the announcers. "There is one at 4 under, and Tiger at 2 under. And that's about it. " I think Phil and Angel at -2 disagree.

The last chart is pretty depressing. Salary per team for starting pitchers. We are 5th or 6th in money spent on them. And yet our WAR is below league average.

Didn't realize that Figgins was traded midseason. Thought he was an offseason move.

He just wants to give everyone else a chance.

Schwartzel plays like me.

Is this where Tiger hurts himself?

Maybe Moreno doesn't like that he had bone chips removed from his elbow? Because we really have such good luck with players with such conditions.

How much are you looking to spend? I prefer Club MVP. Not as many people in the section. Concessions and bathroom lines are short. If it's a day game, thirdbase side.

That article said really nothing about who he is. Just that we need him. No stats, no numbers. Heck, I could come to the forums and get that information.

Seems like more kids movies come out than ever. Aren't there like 2 kids movies doing well in the theater right now?

I just don't get it. It's like MIB meets Beetlejuice. Except it looks like MIB.

I never knew there was a Red. although the trailers for this make it look interesting.

A money grab by the greeting card companies?

Remember when Hughes and Jaba were the next coming of Maddux and Glavine? And I think Montero was the next Berra. Good times in the Yankee hype department.

So instead of saying to the manager, you know, asparagas won't dry out if it's kept in water. It's the store must be racist because it's not in water?
