I want this type of info and I don’t consider what he did teasing. Why chase away people in the know? I wish there were more informed posters like Mack here and less uninformed posters like you who only like to insult those who are trying to convey something. Mack is a pro and he has more insight on the Mets than most of the beat writers. You should be glad he chose to comment here.

Did you seriously mean that? Anyway. Carry on people.

Hey I always read your site Mack.

Considering the only guys who made more than Rodriguez to close were Rivera and Lidge, I doubt it. Besides, all you would prove is my point about paying for saves being dumb.

Has he produced like that before? How likely is it he will produce that way for the majority of the deal? What position does he play? Is your team in a position to add other players to take advantage of his production? Are there any issues that may affect his production (health, legal attitude etc etc)? Do his numbers look good because of certain circumstances?

Your problem seems to be you don’t like players that make the Mets win!
You only like guys who get them into BA’s top 100 list!

And those guys who make less right now will soon make more!
Because you have to PAY to keep good players! Something you have not learned in all your time following baseball!

A product of believeing Oakland was a success is my guess!
Where is Oakland now and how many WS have they won using your philosophy?

I just can’t extend him (KRod) such a courtesy. He was an idiot for doing so and he owned up to it in court so in that sense i am past it as well but I can’t accept the idea that he tore his thumb cause he hates losing. He tore it because he had self control issues.

Take the average salary of every closer in the league and the average numbers on opportunity and conversions and tell me where he stacks up!

You’ll find he is right up there with the top closers!
His only problem was he played on a team that didn’t give him enough chances to close because they were not leading in the ninth!

And thats not his fault!

How much for a .337 BA, .384 OBP, .441 SLG is not crippling?

How much did Rodriguez affect the outcomes of the games he entered?

In fact it was his frustration with LOSING that caused the rage!

You know why you stop reading my posts?
Because you know they contain the facts you guys refuse to deal with!

You just RUN from anything that disproves your made up situational excuses for being the Oakland A’s!

“Oh, we’ve got this big horrible story but we won’t tell you.” Then why even mention it? Most reasonable people figure there is way more going on behind the curtain than we’ll ever know.

What you’re doing is as bad as what that dope from Sirius did regarding Reyes.

Second Castillo got an 8 Mil deal! Thats a CRIPPLING amount?
Really 8 Mil contract can cripple you? My God then we can’t sign ANYONE with any major league experience can we?

Your living in the 20 years ago as to what is worth paying a player!

So why don’t you tell us how much per year is NOT a crippling number?

Cause from your statements it would appear to be right about 415K which is current league minimum and anything above that would be crippling!

It crippled the only thing you seem to like about baseball finding cheap nobodies who when one of the 10 you signed actually does ok You can beat your chest about how right your were about the one and ingore the 9 your were DEAD WRONG about!
