Too Much Fielding?
I don't want to hit this too hard just yet, but here is a list of the Marlins arbitration eligible and the projected salaries . I think at this point, he’s another player who might use a large of wager intuitively, but he’s more or less utilizing up roots with his family here and from what I have raised in the past does not want to become the area.
2B Dan Uggla $417,000 $5,000,000
RHP Kevin Gregg $2,500,000 $4,000,000
LHP Scott Olsen $405,000 $2,500,000
RHP Ricky Nolasco $390,000 $2,500,000
1B Mike Jacobs $395,000 $2,500,000
LF Josh Willingham $405,000 $2,000,000
3B Jorge Cantu $600,000 $2,000,000
RF Jeremy Hermida $395,000 $2,000,000
CF Cody Ross $390,000 $1,500,000
INF Alfredo Amezaga $945,000 $1,200,999
RHP Josh Johnson $390,000 $1,000,000
RHP Sergio Mitre $1,200,000 $950,000
C Matt Treanor $705,000 $900,000
RHP Justin Miller $750,000 $800,000
RHP Joe Nelson $390,000 $750,000
RHP Doug Waechter $410,000 $750,000
RHP Logan Kensing $390,000 $500,000
3B Dallas McPherson $425,000 $425,000
I haven't fact-checked the list, but it feels about right. Some overpriced pitchers seem sad; others need a lot of integrating and instruction.
We will go into this more in the offseason. I guess what I want to bring up is all of these accountant won't be with us next season.
But disasters creep forever as they say so I'm sure fans of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Oakland Athletics, if given a chance, would trade a down year in 2008 for a World Series title in 2007. But how about revolutionizing something like this: a $10 million signing bonus, a $3 million shame the third season, $5 million the twenty-first, $7 million the twenty and $9 million the fourteen.
They might be, but they won't.
Stay tuned, more later.
