Change your name to Arte’s Victim and I’ll change mine to Arte’s Ego.

Victim? No.

Arte paid the going rate because of his ego.

It's such a ridiculous notion.

Yep.  It’s one of those things that only the most ridiculous people and Canadians would even entertain as having merit.

Not the going rate.

 

Sure except it was.

Should be now or never time for Rengifo.  Mayfield isn't a piece to cling to.

it's probably just me, but i'm still waiting for that "oh, so THAT'S why so many around here like rengifo" moment.

at this moment, imho, he just looks like another guy.

Rendon is a very good player but he is overvalued based on his contract. And I could be wrong but I don't think he is going to age well in this league.

He benefited from the timing of his career year and an owner who wanted to make something happen after losing out on the hometown pitcher he coveted.

He's only hit 30 HR's once in his 9 years in the league.

I just don't think he is worthy of being the 2nd highest paid player and the highest paid infielder in MLB.

I mean, good for him, but I think his contract will be looked back at as another huge mistake for our franchise.

Rendon would have received a similar contract elsewhere if not here. All players benefitted from free agency recently.  Especially if they averaged 5.7 WAR the previous 4 years with the worst year being 4.5. 

[Tank]

i think we'll always debate value of a contract for free agents no matter who they are, and i don't think too many of us will really feel like "oh yeah, that guy was totally worth every dime."

 

and i'd be willing to bet this is probably universally true among baseball fans and who their team signs.

Two years in I still vote for elsewhere.

He’s not an infielder. He’s out in LF

So… who is up for sending Rendon a get-well-soon card?

My opinion is Maddon and Minasian want to re-sign Raisel. 

Thank you for using the word “re-sign” correctly.

It’s literally the least I could do after the name change debacle.

I'm OK. Thanks for asking

It's somewhat common for NHL goalies to have these hip surgeries and they tend to come out good as new. That shouldn't be a major concern but I would hope that next year we can be so bold as to ask anyone getting paid north of 30 mil to play triple digit games
