Am I just being paranoid in thinking the point of this post is to lump these guys together as overrated Yankee prospects? If so, I would argue that Kennedy and Jackson, as of right now, look like contributing major league regulars at bargain basement prices, so they're fulfilling their potential.
Now, Ricky Ledee, he sucked.
Dioner seems to have two playing modes with nothing in between:
1: pretty good, decent MLB starter
2: absolutely fricking horrible, worst player at any level above the
Sallie LeagueNCAAThat's particulary insulting to Tampa Bay if his home is in Caracus.
Yes. I'm lumping together the guys who had a run of off-seasons/trade deadlines where every Yankee deal was based around the uber-prospect they weren't going to promote. It's not about what they did once they were actually shipped out of town.
The Red Sox have had it in the past. See Hanleymania.
While you are a good defensive catcher, when your passport onto the Rays was you were a slightly better hitter than Kevin Cash and not as expensive as Toby Hall, you probably don't want to piss off the team you play for.
Have fun in Indianapolis next season.
It's not really too surprising. Once they shifted him to the bullpen he pitched like crap, so there was no reason to include him as a reliever. In reality they probably should have left him in the rotation, but that ship sailed weeks ago when they took him out of the regular season rotation.
Teams don't sign quitters, Navarro. If someone told you otherwise, they're lying to you.
Colon signed with the White Sox the next season and actually pitched quite well when he was healthy.
They get playoff shares, but I think those are usually far less per game than the highest-paid players get in the regular season. The Yankees got $365,052.73 for their 15 postseason games last year, which works out to around a $4 million salary over 162 games.
As for what's up to the player and what's up to the employer, I don't think teams can force players who aren't on the active roster to stay with the team. Navarro's contractual obligation is to be available to play if the Rays choose to activate him. He doesn't have to be in the clubhouse in St. Pete today in order to be available for Saturday's game in Texas.
Actually, there are things called "playoff shares" which pay players for the playoffs. It's some percentage of playoff revenue and players get to vote on how much their teammates get paid.
Anyway, let's see if he does show up in Texas tomorrow. (I hope you're not going to suggest that he can still make Sunday's game if he's in Venezuela on Saturday.)
At this point, if they need a catcher, they'd probably activate Jose Lobaton (if he's healthy), who's just about the same player.

What makes you think the Pirates want him?
