I thought this list was interesting as there are three Dodgers on it, Dessens, Mueller and Penny. With Mueller and Dessens, their deals run out after next...

For those who wished for Ramon Martinez to be gone (I wasn't one of them), well, he won't be. He has signed a one year deal with an option for 2008 yesterday....
The New York Yankees have traded Gary Sheffield to the Detroit Tigers for Prospects. Interesting. I guess the prospects are pitching prospects and Sheffield...
Aramis Ramirez was resigned by the Chicago Cubs to a five year contract so he won't be coming to LA. I don't think I would have wanted to sign him to a long...
Ramirez signed for 5 years and 73 Million, a little over 14.5 Million a season that averages out to. That must make him the highest paid third baseman,...
I would think that Alex Rodriguez earns a tad more than Ramirez or Rolen. :-) zvika Zvi Shilon, Nahal Hayarkon 8/4, Modiin, 71700, Israel 972-8- 970-0381 ...

I should have stated National League but of course when ARod signed his deal, he was a shortstop. Kristin ... ...
A good move for the both of them, Jose agreeing to a one year 3 Million deal. He had a good season with the Mets and the deal is a nice raise from the little...
I guess I was kind of surprised as I thought Chris Carpenter of the Cardinals was going to win it again. Anyway, Webb wins with Trevor Hoffman second and...
Manny Acta was named new manager of the Washington Nationals today as well as Dave Wallace was named pitching coach for the Houston Astros. So then the A's...

An 8 year, 136 Million Contract with the Chicago Cubs. I didn't want LA to sign him, not to that kind of money. What does everyone else think? Of course the...
Nearly every time the Dodgers have dabbled in the Free Agent market they've gotten burned. Don Stanhouse is the first that comes to mind. I so wish they would...
Am I doing the math correctly? 17 million/yr??? I'm sorry, I can not see how any single player can generate the income stream needed to justify that...
If Drew will get 14 million a year from Boston, Soriano is probably worth 17. That is the market value at this time. But I wouldn't want to give him anywhere...

There have been some more free agent signings but none by the Dodgers so far. The Angels also named a pitching coach and unfortunately it isn't Orel...
I get what you mean about "market value"...but then the market needs to be corrected... there is simply no way a single player, can generate enough income to...
Agreed. I'm starting to think the same thing. Anytime a free agent signs a huge deal, the fans have to pay for it in raising prices, from parking to...
He had stated or his agent stated that Soriano wanted the kind of money Beltran signed for and his average salary is 17 Million. Like Zvi said, if Drew gets...
No, I don't think so. I still believe that pitching is the key there. Heck, Sammy Sosa and all his homeruns didn't lead the Cubbies anywhere. Kristin ... ...
Agreed. Five years, maybe 6. With 8 years, he will be 38 when his deal expires. I wouldn't want to pay a 35 and 36 year old 17 Million per. Kristin ... ...

No one player can lead the Cubs to the playoffs, but Soriano will lead the Dodgers to the playoffs and beyond, in my opinion. Also, in my opinion, market value...

Yes, between sharing and money from TV and Cable and attendance, MLB is doing well in a dollars and cents context... I would just hate to see the golden goose...
In my opinion, what you are missing is that Soriano is worth 17 million in today's market. Drew will likely get 14 million. Would you rather have Drew at 14...
