Sox passed on the 6 mill option, if he don't get offers the sox will try to get him back on the cheep?
Gonzo had a lot of big hits for the sox last season batting 284, and played very well.
The sox are getting cheep Henerys hedge fund had to lay off 25% of it's employees

Well, since nobody else seems to want to report it, guess I shall - Derek Jeter and Mark Teixiera win 2009 Gold Gloves.

Oh, and 6 or 7 other AL guys win one too.

11-10-2009, 05:09 PM

I got all worked up over nothing.
I thought they said EVA Longoria.

Ken Griffey, Jr. signed a 1 year deal with the Mariners for $2M with the possibility of it going to $3.15M with incentives.

The Poet · 11-11-2009, 05:19 PM

OK, explain this one to me: Jerry Hairston Jr. declared his free-agency yesterday. He spent most of this last season languishing on the Reds bench, gets picked up by the Yankees as a utility player, gets a few key hits here and there, and ends up with a WS ring plus the bonus money. Now he exercises an option which is unlikely to be picked up by the champs. WTF is he thinking?

Awesome! We get to give him an official send-off this year. At least he said earlier that if he plays in '10, it will be his final year. An awesome player in his prime!

He was on national television during the WS and thinks that someone is gonna look at that and pick him up for more money.

Ain't gonna happen! Wait...my Mets might try to grab him.

What option did he use? As far as I could tell he was a free agent at the end of the season. I did not see anything about him having a player or team options for 2010. All he did was file for free agency like every other free agent does.

MedicCook · 11-11-2009, 09:37 PM

As expected the Red Sox Jason Varitek excersized his option for 2010 for $3M and will return as the back-up catcher for the Red Sox. My prediction is that the Red Sox will release him by the end of Spring Training.

P Adam Wainwright, Cardinals
C Yadier Molina, Cardinals
1B Adrian Gonzalez, Padres

I freakin hope so, he has been dead weight and an automatic out for the last five years.
I guess you keep hanging around as long as people want to give away millions of dollars?

What no Mets??? Oh my bad...noone stayed off the DL long enough to qualify. Great calls on Zimmerman, Bourn, and Kemp.

He's been kept around because he calls a great game. He called Bucholz and Lester's no-hitters. He is slow throwing to catch runners, which is one reason why everyone was stealing on them this year. His bat was carried on the basis of his game, IMO.

Tim Hudson and the Braves agreed on a 3 year deal.
