Arroyo has yet to receive a single offer

[Docwaukee]

how about the halos offer him 2/10 and if he wants a third year then he can have 3/10. 

[laagamer]

I say we offer him 1/1

[tdawg87]

So which is it.

 

He has yet to receive an offer

or

He has yet to receive a concrete offer

 

I'm guessing he has received plenty of offers. He just hasn't received one that he wants, nor is he going to.

 

Dude needs to suck it up and accept that he's older and isn't going to get 3 years.

No team is going to want to be obligated to pay him when he is 40.

I'm having Tim Belcher flashbacks. Belcher was a 37 year old pitcher who gave up a lot of home runs but averaged almost 230 IP the 3 previous seasons. He came here and, of course, got hurt. Unless it's Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, or a juiced up Roger Clemens, signing 37+ year old starting pitchers is almost always a bad idea.

Get a two-year deal done, Dipoto.

Someone needs to remind Arroyo that he is 37, not 27 years old...........

Not only that he's old, but also the fact he just really isn't that good. For some reason he thinks he's better than what he really is. His biggest freakin strength has been his availability/durability. That's really it. He doesn't have good peripherals, he doesn't have good stuff....but he's pitched like 200+ innings the last 3 or so years. That's his appeal right there, especially since the rest of the market is full of bigger question marks when it comes to performance/health

If the price is right, he might make a decent long man out of the bullpen after this season?

LOL, that was one of my favorites along with the Clydesdales/pup commerical, although Radio Shack got me because of my love for everything 1980s.   "And that's an oooorderrrr!"

Oh, god.  I had pretty much forgotten about Belcher.  Thanks for bringing him up and ruining my day.
