Westbrook deal with Cardinals two years, $16.5 million

not bad considering Kuroda just got 1yr/12m
any word on how much the option is?

That's actually a really nice deal
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
hmmm... not bad
not bad at all. Pretty much a wash for this season with Penny’s 7-8 mil coming off the books.
i see westbrook's agent talked mo down from 4y/$48m.

I can't think of a better configuration...
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
i would think you put uggla at one of 1b, 3b, or LF before leaving him at 2b.
prado is a markedly better 2b (though not stellar) than uggla.

Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."
But then you're leaving somebody else woefully out of position
I suppose Uggla in LF wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world, but other than that, Freeman’s gotta be at 1st every day, Gonzalez is a good SS, and Chipper can only handle 3rd
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
But he'll be out for awhile, apparently.

Sure would be nice to have Penny at the end of that rotation, but I don’t suppose that works with $12 million going to Lohse. Carpenter and Garcia both probably have to be considered “fragile,” but I don’t imagine they can spend the kind of money Penny would cost for rotation insurance.

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
Leach gives us the scoop
A source close to the negotiations has confirmed the terms of Jake Westbrook’s new contract with the Cardinals.
Westbrook will receive $16.5 million guaranteed — $8 million in 2011 and $8.5 million in 2012. Following that, he has a mutual option.
After the 2012 season, Westbrook has the right to opt out of the deal. If he does so, he’s a free agent with no additional money coming his way — so it is possible that the bare minimum he will receive on the deal is $16.5 million.
If he does NOT opt out, the option then goes to the Cardinals. They can exercise his 2013 option at a value of $8.5 million, or buy the option out for $1 million. So he would receive $17.5 million total if the club buys out the option, and $25 million total if the third year is exercised.
Additionally, Westbrook received blanket no-trade protection. There are no incentive clauses in the deal.

Votto got 390k, 450k, 550k after coming in second to Soto… Garcia was at 400k last year – he’ll get 500-600k for his third and final pre-arb season.

I think this is a pretty neutral deal
seems like a bit much for a pitcher who’s had a half-season of success to back it up, but its a tough market. Nice to have this part over with, though.
Fire John Mozeliak
i don't think its neutral
only because he’s a pretty good bet to get 2 WAR which would be better than neutral by a little..
and he was worth 1.3 WAR in his 1/3 of the season in STL which means in between 3-4 WAR is his potential which would be AWESOME!

my favorites are Brooklyn Lager, Old Rasputin for russian imperial stouts, Brown Shugga from Lagunitas, I haven’t really decided a favorite for IPAs, there’s so many different types. shipyard brewing company’s Pumpkinhead was probably the best pumpkin ale I tried so far. for coffee beer Uncommon Stout is really good if you live in the Quad Cities, or Cappucino stout from Lagunitas. also rather fond of Negra Modelo, La Fin du Monde, Pride and Joy, etc

I wish Oquendo would spend more time in the public arena
I know there is a lot of sentiment about him being the next manager when TLR finally graces us with his exit, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. He was great as the secret weapon, but how do secret weapon skills translate to manager skills. Being a utility middle infielder is not necessarily a recipe for managerial awesomeness. As evidence I present the current Cardinal manager.
I just got a great idea. Let’s start promoting 2011 as TLR’s Farewell Tour.
Blessed are they who are pleasant to blog with....
Um, TLR has been a manager for 30 years.
I’d say this path has worked out pretty well, to the point of being awesome even.
That said, there might be something to having a manager around too long.
Albert has the advantage of being ridiculous - FredbirdisaDork
You are right TLR has plenty of skills
But he is frustrating and I would like to see a change. What I probably should have said was something like “I wonder how much Oquendo is like TLR”. I want someone with TLR good qualities but not the ones that annoy me. I don’t want more of the same.
Blessed are they who are pleasant to blog with....
Agreed, that would be nice.
This probably means that the next Cardinal manager is not currently on the major league staff.

Some people here might feel that Tyler Greene = Omar Infante, but I doubt if any other team in the league has such a value on him.
I didn’t get on base. One time I did (Wednesday) and we scored a run. That shows if I get on base, things can happen - Oilspill
Yeah, that's reasonable
Omar Infante has established himself as a useful utility guy who can provide something like average offense. But I dunno… isn’t the lefty reliever they got an upside pick?
As I said above, I would not go so far as to say we could/should have made a trade for Uggla, but it still looks weird.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
I like Tyler Greene but he's not "Omar Infante" until...
he puts up a 2.7 WAR season at 2B. The majors are full of guys like Tyler Greene who never pan out at all. The Cards do not have a comparable player to Omar Infante, in either talent, versatility, or contract situation. Also, I believe Omar is likely to be a Type B after 2011 (which Greene would obviously not be)
The Cards have no lefty relief with the performance, potential, or contract situation that Dunn has.
Basically, the Cards did not match up with (apparently) what the Marlins were looking for.
by Willie McGee's Twin on Nov 17, 2010 9:58 AM EST up reply actions
Yeah, apparently the Marlins just had specific stuff they were looking for
and in the absence of getting a blue chip guy (like a Rasmus) they went for this kind of package. I’d be disappointed if I were a Marlins fan.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
no, this team is fucked because we're getting older without a farm system and we're basically the same team we were last year
And our manager is screwing over our good young players and our GM can’t seem to make a deal that is better than breaking even and everyone is involved in some sort of infighting and we’re about to get way more expensive for less production, even though we already seem to be at our limit. Everything about this team gives me a feeling of impending doom, like we’re headed for another early 90s.
Fire John Mozeliak
An unexamined statement...
“And our manager is screwing over our good young players”
Who do you mean? Certainly not Garcia. Or Jay. Can’t mean Freese because the only thing that was screwing him over was his ankles, not TLR. Presumably not Boggs or Motte or McClellan, who all pitched fairly well. Do you mean Brendan Ryan? Maybe, but I can’t say that I think he’s particularly young (or good). Allen Craig? Don’t know how TLR screwed him over – there was essentially no spot for him until Ludwick was gone, then Jay took off, and when he was on the roster early in the season (and TLR played him far more than Stav when that was the case) his numbers were terrible – if anything BABIP and Mo “screwed” him over, not TLR.
Do you mean Colby? Didn’t azru just lose a bet because, as big of a fan of Colby as he is, even he couldn’t have predicted the awesome performance Colby put up this last year as compared to last year?
Let’s strip away the Straussian narrative and look at the numbers (which is what VEB is supposed to do). Colby’s actual performance over the last two years has been improving rapidly and far better than what one would have expected.
I guess you might say — “Well, if it wasn’t for TLR, then he would have been even better.” And I would say – What in any kind of objective analysis would show that Colby is likely to have been even better w/o TLR “screwing him over”? (The only way I see that TLR is “screwing” over Ras is by playing him way too shallow in CF)
I could just as easily craft a narrative, using Colby’s actual performance, to say that "Thanks to TLR’s tough-love approach and lessons about “being a professional,” Colby has improved far faster and performed far better than any fan could have hoped for over the last two years."

playing Colby shallow, for instance, is entirely Tony.
when an opposing manager comments on it, and it doesn’t change, and then it hurts Colby’s defensive numbers? and possibly his defensive reputation, which affects how other teams run against us?
when everyone screams about the baserunning, but nothing changes? that’s Tony’s responsibility to schedule drills, especially when it was sorely needed for the whole team.
when the young guys are consistently played out of position, and additionally are not told what exactly their role is? yeah, that’s putting them in a position to succeed. whose job is it? that’s the manager’s.

PUJOLS HAS SECRET MEETING IN SPRINGFIELD, POSSIBLY WITH JAYSON WERTH STOP
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
So, Pujols is flying around the country
convincing the best FA’s to sign with St Louis for bargain priced, one year contracts? We win a World Series and get a butt load of draft picks in 2012.
Cosign.

The flip side is Werth
Is thinking about staying in Phillie and was recruiting Pujols.
I didn’t get on base. One time I did (Wednesday) and we scored a run. That shows if I get on base, things can happen - Oilspill
Don't be ridiculous.

I am so torn
Should I rec this for brilliance or just continue wailing in utter fear?
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
Buster Posey has just broken that meme.

I always thought that was a air traffic control tower.
What are you going to surprise us with next, Springfield? Was Abe Lincoln even born there!?!

No, but it is indeed the spot that the aliens dropped him off.

Second base….I’ve played second base, how hard can it be? -TLR
Also, Dave Concepcion.

I was disoriented by the first link until I realized it was Springfield, IL.
Then it all became clear. He went to rub Lincoln’s nose for good luck in the upcoming contract negotiations.
Too stupid and sissy-like to say that you want out.
You make the eyes of a million girls and think you'll make them shout.

No I believe AlxFritz. He wouldn't lie to us
Jayson Werth to St. Louis.
Blessed are they who are pleasant to blog with....
Rotational Swingman
My money is on Sup. Cheap. Crappy. Spot Starter with 6+ ERA. This has TLR all over it. Maybe Miles fits too, but his innings would be less of a plus, although he can hit equally well in the 8th or 9th spot!

Ms Bitters (Invader Zim): Children, your performance was miserable. Your parents will all receive phone calls instructing them to love you less now.
I guess they want to go with the piss smell and market it underground
