Big News about the Big Unit
Ok, not really. He signed a 1 year deal with the Giants yesterday. Do the Giants care more about attendance from statistical milestones or winning games. Johnson’s 300th win will be the highlight of the Giants 2009 season.
It is December 28th and things (besides the Yankees) are still pretty slow. Usually by the new year most of the bog name free agents have been signed, sealed and delivered. It is going to be an interesting January. The players will most likely cry collusion when Manny gets a 2 year, 30 million deal or Lowe gets a 3 year 45 million deal. Hey, the economy is bad and the owners are calling players/agents bluff. Manny could of had a very nice contract in November but he waited. Abreu should have played some defense and maybe the Yankees pick up his 16 million option. Too bad he just sailed along in 2008.
I hope Pettitte takes the 10 million deal. He deserves another year in pinstripes. He is and always will be a gutsy pitcher. I met him in 1995 and got his autograph. I could tell then he was a real down to earth guy.
