No Coffee for Braves GM

Submitted by Rob G. on

Hey, anyone see a Frank around here, Frank Wren...the guys at Liberty Media Group have sent someone down to talk to him. They're a bit concerned over recent developments.

isn't that Jack Lemon playing the part of Jim Hendry, after he didn't close the Furcal deal in 2005-6? Switched from coffee to donuts after that meeting.

Yeah I read that this morning too. I like how he says they just picked Adolf Hitler because it was a name they knew no one else would have, and how he tried to argue there was nothing more meaningful than that. Yet his other child's middle name is "Aryan Nation." LOL, yeah we almost buy it buddy.

we enjoy very unique freedoms most of the world don't get a chance to enjoy. it's a shame that some people use it for stuff like that, but whatever...nice to be somewhere you can (aside from the head-trip their kids are going to have adjusting to society at large thanks to their selfish parents putting their cause before their kid).

Rosenthal has updated his post but the link Rob has at the top is the same. Furcal's deal is three years and $33 million. $7.5M, $9.5M, $13M, then year 4 option at $13M with a $3M buyout. In essence, Coletti taking the sum of the two Furcal contracts 3/39, 3/33 gave Furcal 6/72 or 7/82. Wasn't Hendry's package to Furcal 5/50? Ned longs for the days when a 3/44 deal was sweet.

and Furcal threw in all the medical reports on his bad back as well as taking off the 2008 season as a freebie on his end to get this deal done...how generous can one get?

Submitted by 10man on Wed, 12/17/2008 - 12:29 pm

The dodgers are gonna be regretting this deal starting with the first time furcal goes to the DL this season and succeeding seasons thereafter.

GM's have been black listing Boras for years. Much like Boras and other big agents violate the CBA by leveraging players against teams, there's going to be no way to prove that the Braves didn't sign a player because of his representation. The 'We just weren't interested' defense is too easy.

Braves Pitcher Peter Moylan is represented by Tellem's Wasserman group...I wonder if he gets traded in the near term...and I'd expect that to lead to a grievance and more ugliness. Should be interesting.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
