Koo gone, Wright "renewed"

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Last year's Rookie of the Year, Ryan Howard, will be getting $355,000 from the Phillies.

]I don't guess we'll ever know, but I wonder what $$ figure young David and his agent had in mind? Half-a-mil maybe? Not sure how many 1+ year players have reached that.

Upon a little research:
Jeter: $550K following R-o-Y season & coming off a much lower ($130K) ML min.
Only 1 year of service (as opposed to Wright 1-1/2)
I remember the Yanx renewing Jeter in his 3rd year (at $700K) when he
wanted more causing some grumbling on his part. He was then arb-elg
for the next 3 years as they went 1 season at a time and didn't go long-
term w/him until his FA year.

Pujols: $600K off one of the great R-o-Y years of all time and a $200K ML min
Also just 1 year ML service
StL went long-term w/him after his 3rd season

the mets are doing the wRIGHT thing for the team's budget, the players get huge salaries out of you during and after arbitration and the good ones get insane signing bonuses as well, the team should take advantage while it can because you know the player will.

I'm amused with Mr. Wright's use of a Seinfeld reference with respect to this situation.

I'd guess that's Mr. Knot, not Mr. Wright, whose subtle allusive wit so pleases you.

Bret;
sorry I'd like to apologise for my inability to read your posts correctly earlier.

I think there's give and take here - but I also think how the mets have acted is defendable.

Sorry again for not reading your post correctly.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Duan, de nada--I should apologize to you for being unclear. But thanks just the same.

Big hairy moose cock is Ralph's expression.

Really? I was sure "big hairy moose cock" came out of your mouth.

So to speak.
