kind of a funny time to do that when he jumps on the DL. DLee got one too. 5 years 65 mill i think.

I saw that, and was like "WTF? Don't you have to prove something before you get an extension anymore?"

They tore up the last year of his current contract and extended him thru 2010. Now we need to lcok Ramirez so he's concurrent with Lee, and we're concurrent w/ Pujols and Rolen

David Ortiz had an contract extension right before the season started

He would be wise to if he stays healthy and has a monster season, since Adrain Beltre had 5 years, 65 M, and Ramirez has done better than him.

Aram blows ass. He is never healthy, and the few times he is he plays like a dog. I have never seen someone who dogs to 1st like he does. But he can bomb.

Aram is great. He's on my fantasy team, so he HAS to be good. He's a .300 30 100 guy. Pretty young too.

 

[bobferg]

yea hes a great fantasy player..........but a shitty baseball player. DLee saves him about 20 errors a year, he is always hurt and he dogs both in baserunning and D.

</div>He has bad legs. I don't think he wants to pull something<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (bobferg @ Apr 14 2006, 04:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>yea hes a great fantasy player..........but a shitty baseball player.

[Brooksie5]

He's become a much better <u>player</u> since coming to Chi-town.

 

[bobferg]

like i said.......DLee saves him 20 errors a year. He can't throw. Call me old fashioned, but I will never have respect for a player who dogs it. Look at last nites game. In like the 6th or 7th, aram was on first and someone grounded into a double play. Ram made it halfway to 2nd and then walked out of the baseline. It is the runner on firsts job to bust his ass down the line and slide in hard to the pivot man to try to break the play up. It is the little thing he doesn't do that piss me off. Oh and PS. Not to mention he is batting .154 with one bomb and 2 RBIs.
