Not that A-Rod isn't the most guilty of all these steroid guys, but Bosch is about as believable as a $10 hooker.Hilts said:Allegedly received death threats from camp A-Rod after declining a bribe. Amazing stuff.Raider Nation said:Tony Bosch is just destroying A-Rod on 60 Minutes.
This freakin guy was dirty morning til night.
waiting for Tanaka.
Not that I think it'll amount to much, but why wouldn't he? Atleast this means we'll get to see the arbitration ruling.
What makes you say that? You privy to all the details?
All the details? No. But the decision was made public as part of ARod's suit in Federal Court to overturn the arbitration. So, while I don't actually know the testimony, I do know the opinion verbatim.
And MLB Network let Alanna Rizzo get away to the Dodgers. This week can't end fast enough.
The ruling reads as though he decided to suspend ARod for a year and then tried to come up with a BS way to get to 162. Plus, he suspended him for the playoffs too, which makes the term non-definite - counter to every other suspension allowed for under the JDA. His reading of the JDA would earn him an F on a contracts exam.
Multiple substances infractions over a considerable period of time and obstruction of the investigation. Thee penalty structure as laid out in the JDA is not limiting or absolute. It is a guideline under which just cause for additional sanctions/penalties were provided in cases like this, particularly given the totality of the infraction(s) and attempted cover-up.rodg12 said:
a max of 32 starts per season so lets say 30 starts a year. that's a million dollars a start. if he throws 100 pitches per game...that's $10,000 a pitch. hope everyone's having a great day at work like i am now!!
wow even after hip surgery?
Don't forget warm-up pitches, throws to first, throws for a fresh baseball. It gets that price per pitch down to something respectable.
In fairness to CK, he doesn't just wake up in the morning and go to the ballpark 30 times a year. There's training and workouts/lifting, throw days, etc. Baseball has become a job that's probably around a 300-day-a-year commitment. So I mean, ya know, pffft...it's really only like a hundred thousand dollars a day when you think about it.
Julio Franco played until his alleged 48th birthday.8 years left on that deal?
His race to break the Brewers' single season strikeout record will keep the home fans interested in September
@ Jose Hernandez sitting the last few games of 2001 so he wouldn't break the record
Yep. But there's like three hitters in MLB who will be paid more than him this season, so it's not as bad as it seems for the Angels.Premier said:Wrigley said:
This is stupid. One of those things a player/agent will remember when its time for free agency and the Braves are looking for a hometown discount.The Braves going to take Heyward into the arb hearing over a difference of $300k (5.5mil vs. 5.2).
Wren is in way over his head.
