Hey Everyone,
The big righty Todd Coffey signed a one year contract today to avoid arbitration. It was the work horse relievers second time eligible and got a nice raise from $800k to $2.025 m, which was $50k shy of the middle point of teams and his purposed salaries. He can earn that $50k in appearance based incentives. So even though my initial guess was $1.6m, my second of $1.9m was close enough for me, and I was right on about the team being closer and Todd settling south of the $2.1 m mark.
Funny side note, Coffey is actually making $2,025,002 and made $800,002 last season. This is apparently because he likes even numbers... not zero though... he is number 60.
The schedule for this years Winter Warm-Up has been officially released and it looks like fun. The autograph session has a bunch of good names but is headlined by Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, and Trevor Hoffman. There will be Q & A sessions with Rick Peterson and Ken Macha, one with owner Mark Attanasio, GM Doug Melvin, and Asst. GM Gord Ash, and a third with former Brewers Jeff Cirillo, Greg Vaughn, and Gorman Thomas. Also, new comer Carlos Gomez, who will be roaming center this year for the Crew will be officially introduced to the press.
I wonder when Davis' press conference will be... No word yet but I wouldn't be surprised if it were Friday, the day in which he will be taking his physical.
That's it for now. More signings to come I'm sure. Brew Up.
