I know it might be a little distracting, but what if the fastbreak futbol blog got expanded into an all sports blog? Just a thought.<br /><br />I love the signing. I love Tony because this is an indication that they have a clear direction on how they want to move forward, and that they will take the steps to secure the guys they want before the free agency period actually begins. Abreu wasn't going to get a lengthy contract anywhere, and he's been a productive hitter for just about the last decade, and his strength is based on plate discipline, so he won't decline the way Vladdy has. I saw that his deal was for $19 million, which is a good amount, but I think worth it. If you look at his stats, the guy has been very consistent so I don't really anticipate a major dropoff.<br /><br />Lackey will for sure test the market, and Figgins probably will too. Not sure what they'll do with Vladdy, but if we can secure him for little money and given the right role, he could be a smart decision. I'm guessing that we keep Vlad and Figgins, but lose Lackey. That kind of hurts to say out loud. We'll see.Silvshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09397003013280579251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703277898285614749.post-28935787009657189972009-11-05T13:48:25.938-08:002009-11-05T13:48:25.938-08:00forget dating (easy for a married man to say). th...forget dating (easy for a married man to say). this is what you should focus on:<br /><br />http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091105&content_id=7627442&vkey=news_ana&fext=.jsp&c_id=ana<br /><br />good? bad? <br /><br />i think i'm happy with it. i may need to mull it over a little more. he's old and last year was his 'prove to the world i still got it' year. so i hope there isn't a sharp decline this year, but im optimistic and i think he will be productive again. he seems to like the organization and he really helped players with their plate discipline. i also like the 2 year deal, i wouldn't have done anything more than 2 years. i think this one will work out. <br /><br />now come the bigger ones though: lackey, chone and vlad. gotta keep chone. i hate to see vlad go, but it might happen. he is a decent DH though.kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098859339378214092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703277898285614749.post-4139851053746833752009-11-04T17:40:36.050-08:002009-11-04T17:40:36.050-08:00methinks you are a good person.
