Reds - Signed Stanton
Cincinnati Reds - Signed P Mike Stanton to a 2-year contract.
This contract is worth $5 million with a 140 game vesting option for $2.5 million in 2009.
Do you know what makes a good proverb? Accuracy and precision. A stitch in time saves nine? They didn’t teach us how to sew the space-time continuum in 7th grade home economics (though I still have that awesome bag with drawstring I made). Beware of Greeks bearing gifts? I like Greeks. Who doesn’t like gyros?
Luckily, the rich English language has given us a number of proverbs that are clear and concise and fit this situation. A fool and his money are soon parted is the one that comes to mind.
Krivsky’s ultimate plan? Have a 9-man bullpen consisting of 7 players that make over a million dollars a year and suck, Guardado, and Coffey.

1. zonk Posted: November 21, 2006 at 05:42 PM (#2242950)I'm waiting to see what Jocketty does this offseason - but it's comforting to know that no one in the NL Central seems all that intent in taking advantage of a reloading year in St. Louis.
Career (may be incomplete) $28,903,001
that's before this year. stanton, you magnificent bastard!
He has deserved every penny. People can blame ARod and Giambi and Mussina all they want. The reason the Yankees won so many postseason games in the late 90's was the backend of the pen.
Nelson > Stanton > Rivera.
Check the numbers, see how many of those games were of the come from behind variety.
And he was the goods for Atlanta before that.
did you ask Gossage what his list was?!
that's before this year. stanton, you magnificent bastard!
I'm sure that "1" at the end is a rounding error from Baseball-Reference, but I still like the thought of Stanton, years after his career is over, thinking proudly about that extra dollar he managed to wheedle out of the Yankees.
