Red Sox Extend Pedroia

Extended him all the way to five feet tall.

 

Biggest bargain in MLB. It was Papi, until this past year.

 

Good to see they're keeping him locked up and happy.

 

I'd take Tim Lincicum at $405,000 per year over Pedroia anyday.

 

Tim is going to get a big pay raise. He finally agreed to work on an extension, and not just single year deals.

 

True enough - now. Without saying it, I was amortizing Pedroia over the six years of the contract. $6.75 per year for the next six years? I'm not comparing Pedroia to Teixeira by any means, but Boras is looking for $25-plus million annually over 6-7 years. Gives perspective to Pedroia's contract.

 

Yea that Boras is on crack if he thinks he's going to get $25 mil a year for a guy in this economy & doesn't have the ability to hit 50+ HRs & 150+ RBI's a year.

 

Ruling out Lincecum and other guys who haven't gotten to their arbitration years or already been bought out of them with a long term deal, I'd say Reyes at less than 6 million a year is a up there too.

 

yeah except in a year when Lincecum hits arbitration he's gonna get a ton if they haven't extended him, he'll ask for 18 and get 12 or 13

 

At which point Tim won't be biggest bargain in baseball anymore, that's fair enough, but today he is. Just bustin Jack's balls a little for being so Boston-centric

 

Nice job not letting Dustin hit the open market!! I love the way Dustin plays the game.

 

Heh. Guilty as charged, FTC.
