That's right Bobby, the A's are only paying him $500,000 this year.
Does that give us a clue as to Oaklands confidence in him? They're
rolling the dice. He also can earn up to 1.2 mil. in performance
incentives. Incentives for 10, 20 and 30 HR's; 100, 200 and 300 at
bats and incentives for games played and batting average.
Unfortunately, I do not get to see many of the Sox games because my
cable company dropped WGN awhile back. Needless to say...I was
livid! Hopefully I will get to see more games this year via national
feed because, after all, the Sox are the WS Champs!! I live about 60
miles East of Oakland (as the crow flies), and get mucho A's games
here. It will be interesting to watch how Frank does, especially when
the Sox visit.
I hope when the sox visit Oakland they kick their asses and shut Frank Down and strike him out every time. God how I would love to see him bomb there. No offense I dont know if you are an A's fan, but when the Sox play them I hope they lose their asses.
