Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.



Rome

QuoteAccording to FoxSports.com, Madson turned down a three-year, $12 million offer from the Phils. The righthanded reliever was 4-2 with a 3.05 ERA in 76 appearances last season.

What the farg?

Madson's agent is Boras meaning he'll probably hold out for 5 years $50 million

Rome

Madson was barely a major league pitcher until last year and now he's got the stones to turn his nose up at 12 million dollars?

Ha.

Stupid.  farging.  Jocks.

SD_Eagle5

Aside from the HR he gave up to Baldelli in the WS he was money in the playoffs. That substaintally raised his price tag.

reese125

looks like Boras is marketing him as a closer

I personally think the offer was fair to him and it it probably seals up the fact that the Phils arent going to just toss bones because of the WS and be stuck in a long term deal with a guy that barely was a pitcher like Rome said...and the chances of him shteinting the bed this year are pretty damn good based on his past

thats fine...work his ass like a mule then welcome to the trade deadline

I'm at the Montgomeryville Mall to see the World Series trophy with my kids. A decision I have immediately regretted.
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

Either:
A. It's packed

or

B. You came to your senses that traveling anywhere to see a trophy is never worth it

New contract for Hamels.....3/$20.5M  :yay

2009 = $4.35M
2010 = $6.65M
2011 = $9.5M

He also gets $500K in any season following one where he wins a Cy Young Award, or $250K if he finishes 2nd or 3rd

Wait, they didn't have to pay someone but did it anyway?  Did aliens take over the front office?

MDS

nice

no lets see them pay him what he deserves once his arbitration years would have been up
