Oswalt- 14 mil
Madson- 5 mil
Madson is the only one that i really see coming back...Rollins wants his money and to many years so i think hes gone and the others are just done
Jose Reyes?
would be nice
where do you think Rollins will land?
hes a west coast guy so if i had to guess the A's or Giants
fine with me, we need a shortstop.
we need a SS, but not Jimmy Rollins. Hes going to be 33 in 2 months, and his production has dropped off. if hes fine making 2-3 mil a season for maybe 2 years thats fine, but not if hes expecting to continue making 8 mil a season. Hes really not very good anymore.
although that kind of signing is right down Sabean's alley. "hes old, check. hes used to be good, check. hes from the bay area, check....ok, Jimmy, how does 5 years/55 mil sound?"
sheeeeeeeeeeeet......Rollins is looking for about 12-15 mil a year
Sabean is the only GM dumb enough to give him that kind of money. I see 3/36 with a club option for Rollins and the Giants. I hope not but I would not be surprised at all. Just dont see him as elite any longer and certainly not worthy of that kind of contract.
I just dont see how he can come to the negotiating table with any basis for being paid that much. like i said, hes going to be a 33 year old SS whos basically got 30 steal speed and thats about it. how is his agent going to convince anyone that he should be getting paid MORE than his previous contract? his production keeps dropping steadily, and besides his steals, hes been crap. and when youre 33, a teams response to "30 steals in 2011" is going to be "we cant bank on a guy heading into his mid 30's to keep stealing 30 bags."
playing at AT&T, hes basically going to be a 10 HR, 50 RBI, .255 avg hitter with 25 steals? his defense isnt much of an asset either. those numbers look alot like the production wed get from Andres Torres.
I will be
if we sign Rollins to a deal like that.
