Tanaka: Why the Angels need to go after him with every thing they've got

[ten ocho recon scout]

Just want to touch on the part about selling players on location.

To us, who work year round and live close to work, obviously location would be a huge sell. But for baseball players its much less so.

Keep in mind of the 8 month season, 2 is soent in arizona or florida, and 6 at home......except that its only 3 at home because you're on the road for 3. And when they are at home, there's only a handful of off days to enjoy whatever the local area has to offer.

I would think one of the big appeals of playing on the east coast is how much less travelling they do. And obviously florida has the benefit of low taxes.

If signed he would sign the largest pitching contract on franchise history -- by a large margin.

I also expect it will take a minimum of 6 years.

The price could easily end up north of $120 million if you include the posting fee.

My guess is 140 mil

Supposedly his team isn't letting him come over.

Garza just got a stiffy.

[Tyler]

Pass on Garza; sign Capuano, Hammell, or Maholm now.

Sucks to hear about Tanaka.

Time to cut bait and pursue other options it seems.

I think he meant that Tanaka or Kershaw signing with the Rangers would be bad for the Angels.

 

So I think he is hoping the Dodgers sign them to avoid the Angels becoming like the Cards or Rams, two quality teams stuck behind to much better teams (Seahawks/9ers).

[stoli4949halos]

Dudes I just woke up I don't use a laptop often and didn't realize how Important grammer is. Creshaw is from Texas if he decides to test free agency Ouch. as for this tanaka its dodgers Yanks Seattle N Texas. Which is the lessor of those evils.

Is this your way of telling us you did coke this morning?

[stoli4949halos]

My mind runs like im on coke, ADD . Not only does my grammer suck i will always throw out an attempt at humor. it would be a wise move to over spend on Tanaka. Hell dland would greatly benefit from the Asian tourism. Arte would get whatever he wanted from the city .

[Stradling]

Yep, if there's one demographic that Disneyland lacks is Asian Tourists.
