If reports of Zobrist having an $80 mil, 4 year deal on the table are true, what is Alex going to get?  :surprised:

but it does sound like he's going to be on the high end of projections.  everybody's getting paid.

Read today that players in 2002 were earning 56% of team revenues and that is now down to 40%. What I'm saying is Dayton and Glass should step up how much we are going to spend
:adios:

I think Moore will probably do what he always does. Let the top of the market get rediculous contracts, then snag some mid tier guys that underwhelm the masses but produce during the season.

Yes, he'll stick to his formula. He isn't going to go out and overpay or end up with contracts that hurt the team badly on the back end. Hopefully he can still make it work well like the past 3 seasons.

Winning the pennant 3 years in a row would put us into an incredibly elite group of teams.  No one has done it 4 years in a row besides the Yankees.

Next year in the WS I'd like to win it at home.  If we win it on the road again it would be OK I would just prefer we do it at home this year.

Although champ-pak'ing in Chicago would be fun too.

maybe if they get him really cheap and the plan is to have him play lf next year then move him to dh or first.  i don't think expecting him to add a lot of value with his defense in future years is realistic.

since i don't think he'll be super cheap, i'd probably rather have him leave.

no idea what they will do, but depending on who mysplayer is, i'd probably want to put dyson in center, cain in right and mysplayer in left.
