Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 ]When the Astros offered him $75 million over five years, a National League general manager said: "That's a fair offer. That's what we're willing to pay him."Beltran treated that offer as if it were minimum wage. After all, Vladimir Guerrero had signed with the Angels for $75 million.Boras let the Astros know that Beltran was a far better player than Guerrero. Except that he's not. He's not nearly as good.Sing it, sister.
Guest Beenso Guests Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Weren't the two offers almost identical dollarwise when tax was taken into play???
metsmarathon Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 that sounds oddly familiar. but i couldnt possibly imagine a newpaper sports "journalist" would ever allow an actual proveable fact to get in the way of a perfectly good rant. that would never happen.
Guest ABG Guests Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 ]Boras let the Astros know that Beltran was a far better player than Guerrero. Far better? No, not at all. Far more marketable at the time they became a FA? Yes, certainly. So why wouldn't they expect more than what Vlad got?
