Sheets to A's
« on: January 26, 2010, 12:56:38 pm »
According to ESPN. $10MM for one year, plus incentives.

Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Wow. That's real money, especially for the A's. Best of luck to him.

Hope this doesn't turn into Matt Holiday all over again, where he spends 3 months with the team and then is gone.

Why not?  One-year deals make perfect sense for a team like the A's.

That's a lot of money for a guy that didn't throw a single pitch last year.

That's a large part of why he didn't cost $17MM.

Well, if anyone else had 10 million bucks laying around, I didn't pitch at all last season either!

Are you saying that the left tackle deal isn't working out?

Speaking of which... did Terrence Cody's tits cause Colt's injury?

I would just be sad if I were an A's fan, knowing that Sheets is only there to garner prospects in 3 months.  Plus, what jersey do you buy if you're an A's fan?  Eric Chavez?

No, they use that to pull out the lint, spare change, popcorn and/or tv remotes from the various folds.

I don't know about Colt's injury but those things scared the hell out of me.
