The same kind of comments made when "whoever it was", signed the first million dollar contract.Some people compare him to the great Mickey Mantle. He better be that good for $430 million.
And he's already played 3 playoff games in his first 8 years.Dont mean FUCK ALL if you dont get to the show and win it
Pundits are talkin..winners and losers in this
Everyone except Trout loses if the Angels dont win atleast 2 or 3 World Series...outta the 12 years
Nolan Ryan.The same kind of comments made when "whoever it was", signed the first million dollar contract.
Twenty four players were selected before Trout.And he's already played 3 playoff games in his first 8 years.
Actually, it is another player that the Jays missed out on. LOL
I was not serious. I was implying that the Jays somehow should have tried to outbid the Angels of Anaheim. 2 problems. Those are such crazy numbers that even I would not have objected if they didn't go after him and secondly he was still under contract, so there was never even an opportunity.Twenty four players were selected before Trout.
There's no need to bash the Blue Jays for missing out on him, lots of teams did.
Alex Anthopoulos was the Assistant General Manager for the 2009 draft
Hell, the Angels selected Randal Grichuk ahead of Trout.
That remains to be seenHe is a bargain at $36 million (in baseball's fucked up world).
And if he has a couple of off years and somebody else has a couple of very good years going into their free agency, do they argue that they are obviously worth more?That remains to be seen
But he better be a gold glovin silver sluggin base stealin mother fucker for $36 million
This deal pretty much proves their point.And it was baseball owners who wanted a salary cap to protect them from themselves.
Aint that a hoot!
Just wondering. How do salaries in MLB compare with EPL. Not just overall money or per year but also in terms of lengths of contracts and guaranteed money.F.U.C.K.I.N.G. R.I.D.I.C.U.L.O.U.S.
Values distorted, turned upside down and inside out.
When it comes to money, professional baseball has become an insane extravaganza!
It's a game, for fuck sake!
If there is too much money to spread and throw around, it means that we, the public, are being ripped off. Cut the price of tickets so that more people can afford them!
They say to understand baseball is to understand the soul of America. Sick!
