unfortunately if pace at work keeps up I will likely become one of those…combined with little tiger getting older that will reduce my blog time

2-4 is pretty slow they don’t have that many activities then school/sports/etc start ramping up and free time goes away

although I have a co-worker whose 28 year old son requires more time than both of mine plus blogging
tiger297

DOWNTON ABBEY is a soap set in the period 1914-1920 ENGLAND. Very well done. Shows the cultural changes wrought by the war and the times in fashion, attitudes etc. Pretty absorbing if you can concentrate more that 250 milliseconds.

so if market value is 5 years at 90 million, do you do it?
that is what i think is fair market value is considering molina’s contract.
cabravesfan
March 2nd, 2012
12:10 am
so if market value is 5 years at 90 million, do you do it?
Yes. But I think you start at 5/$80 with an option- in other words, similar but slightly better than Molina- and go from there.
cabravesfan

But nothing is going to happen before this season is over anyways, so no need to worry about it now

cab, considering molina’s contract 15 large is the floor. he has to get more then that.
pretty sure his agent will use that, right.

I think Mac will get more too, but you never want to start high in a negotiation if you are the employer. Mac’s agent will start high, and they will meet in the middle. Who knows- Mac may be more interested in the number of years, so he can stay in Atlanta for his entire career than he is in the money (and whatever he gets will be substantial, obviously). We shall see…

the fact that the yanks got rid of montero. i see the yanks targeting him.
perfect fit. short porch in right. can DH at times. great clubhouse guy. they or if i was the GM go over the top.
i could easily see the yanks go 5 years 90 million.
cabravesfan

Sure they could…but it won’t matter if he doesn’t want to play in New York. Or DH…which he has said he doesn’t want to do
uga-brave

either way it will not happen for two more years. the braves control the option year right?
they still have the option right?
cabravesfan
March 2nd, 2012
12:25 am
Yes- I believe it is a vesting option for 2013…if it’s a team option, there is no doubt it will be picked up.
cabravesfan
March 2nd, 2012

actually does look like it’s a club option. So no worries there…

uga – no doubt and no way would I begrudge the man that.
You sing the party line because it is the right thing to do but the day someone else offers 20-30% more is the day I walk. People bemoan loyalty and such but if primary loyality isn’t to provide for your family however you see fit then you need to adjust your priorities.

BREAKING:
It has been reported on the philly.com/phillies/forum as well as other media outlets that Shane Pestorino is seeking a 5 year deal when he hits free agency. D.O.B. knows Zolecki, interesting scenario up there since they also will have a priority of locking up King Cole Hamels and Hunter Pence…

dude that is a haul. you do that everyday?
gotta be close to a hour each way.
tiger297
March 2nd, 2012
1:31 am
40 miles each way – and the official answer is absolutely I’m in the office every day (last 18 months my boss and all my staff are not located here so like I said yes I’m in the office every day)
trip time depends on when I leave it is 45 to 60 minutes in if I leave before 6:30 and 1:30-2:00 home – and imagine on baseball nights I can spend between 3-4 hours in the car
