They already struck out with A) the choice of player and B) the loss of a draft pick. Strike 3 would be overpaying him...which they likely did...

    A) Bourn wasn't a realistic option for them, he was always going to be too expensive
    B) they picked up a sandwich pick when Bourn rejected the offer, didn't lose a draft pick
    3) they didn't overspend. still have a little over $10 million for a left fielder, well within their budget

    Other than that, he was right on!


    I'll also add there are quite a few worse contracts in baseball. One prime example would be giving a 29 year old 1B a 10 year $225+ million contract........................

    When Upton wins an MVP, leads the league in walks and is top 5 in every offensive category, let me know.

    Outside of that I guess he's worth nearly 15M a year for a career OPS of .750, in the AL, and 160 K's per season.

    Drew Stubbs career OPS .700 and 175 K's per season. He probably shouldn't be in the major leagues unless it's as a pinch-runner...

    You just never know with online personalities. I never knew J_crazy was fat until he posted a photo, and I never knew GoChiefs was as fat as he is. Don't get me wrong... I have a nice spare tire going.

    Nah, it served its purpose quite well actually. And my question was also a serious inquiry.

    I have obtained workout advice from him, mostly regarding Insanity, so that is what my theory is based on.

    Funny thing with me is that I actually gain weight in football season and lose it in the winter.

    If your question was a serious inquiry, then you are indeed deranged.

    I lose weight in basketball season as well. It's only the start of the season, you know...

    How do you gain more weight? Lifting more?

    I lose weight in season because 1) I stop drinking alcohol in season, 2) I'm actually moving more, 3) I have a much more balanced diet, 4) I don't drink alcohol.

    Here is some food for thought.... Try doing this when it isn't basketball season. You're welcome.

    Whoa, dude... you just blew my mind! I AM am an alcoholic, so the drinking part would be tough, lol.

    If you were an actual alcoholic you wouldn't be able to quit during the winter hs sports season lol. I am not even suggesting to quit drinking. Try #'s 2 and 3 during the off season.

    Yeah, diet is probably the hardest part, at least sticking to it for 7 straight days. I've been lifting heavy for the past 4 months, so that has a lot to do with my weight gain, but little to do with my huge ass and spare tire. lol. The ass is hereditary, though.

    Beer isn't that bad for you, less calories than Wine, Juices, and Milk. Its more what you eat when you drink (tend to be fatty high calorie), Also good beers tend to full of nutrients and lower risk for cancer and heath disease.

    I gain weight in season because 1) I drink more alcohol socially after games & meetings, 2) Meetings, film review, study, and travel cuts down on workout time, 3) My diet is not as great eating out more while travelling.
