Im finding more fault with Gil Meche himself. Yeah Gil it is $5 million more than the Cubs & Blue Jays... but youre not all together up in your head. Have fun getting used to being with a last place team and minor league team fanbase

What would Arroyo, if he were a FA, be worth in today's market? I wonder if he is pi$$ed he took that home town discount before the Sox moved him.

[jacksonianmarch]

arroyo would be getting the entire worth of his contract per season.

Meche is a dumass and will probably be dealt to a contender at a trade deadline at some point during the contract.

I think we know who the Sox will be facing on opening day

Haha it's actually a 5 year deal, half a decade in Kansas City for Meche. He couldve gotten that much money in 4 years with Toronto or Chicago

He's used to it - he played in Seattle before this.

What the f***??? God-da-damn!! Meche's contract is set to be worth $55-60 million over 5 years. Now I see why he chose this over the Cubs/Blue Jays "price" of $40 million

Hmmm..the KC Royals, with an average per game attendance of 17,000 in 2006 (as compared to the league average of approx 30,000) pony up the big bucks?

 

Is revenue sharing good to these types of teams or what?

Youchies.
