Guardado deal official

Jeff Wilson reports that the Rangers have signed Eddie Guardado.

Minor league deal, $3 million in incentives.  He has to be considered a lock to make the bullpen.

Wilson also notes that Bryan Corey has also signed as a minor league free agent, although he doesn't have an invite to the major league camp.

There sure is.

Your four posts in your LSB life have been:

1) Tom Hicks is cheap (thank you for the update)
2) Rob Neyer has an east coast bias (no, he really doesn’t)
3) The Eddie Guardado signing is boring (tons of substance there)
4) Asking if I have an actual point (see above)

You’ve yet to provide any real insight or true, fact-based opinions. You’re 0-for-4.

That’s the actual point I am trying to make.

Thanks

You’re awesome.

1. Born of frustration.

2. I was not accusing Neyer of having an east coast bias. I was stating that Pedroia getting the MVP was a reflection of east coast bias.

3. I think my sarcasm speaks for itself.

My opinions are just as valid as yours. Don’t be a DBag.

I never said your opinions weren't as valid as mine.

My only request is that you back up your opinions with facts and use those opinions to add to the conversation. That’s all.

In hindsight, I probably unfairly jumped on you, and I apologize. That wasn’t cool of me.

Its a signing that needed to happen I suppose, fine and all, but can’t exactly get excited about it.

OT: From AskBA

In his comparison of Bumgarner to Price, Callis says the following amazing quote:

Bumgarner has the potential to be a No. 1 starter. Price’s career still has to unfold, but reaching the Hall of Fame seems like a reasonable goal.

David Price is awesome and will be a great pitcher, but I’ve never seen someone like Callis write a line like that. Wow.

He's still on the open market.

I'm cool with the signing

It’s a minor-league deal, so the commitment is limited. If he pitches well enough to get the incentives, then he probably would be worth $3 million or so on the open market anyway.

Francisco, Guardado, and Wilson

Sounds like a war for the closer role again this year

by awillis111 on Feb 3, 2009 8:40 PM CST reply actions  

Fransisco is the Closer

The 8th inning is Wilson’s, if he wants it.

I'd have to re-read it

But didn’t Jamey’s blog say that 1 of his incentives depends on how many games he finishes?

by awillis111 on Feb 3, 2009 8:44 PM CST up reply actions  

If all goes well

It won’t be many. I mean, if Frankie get’s injured and C.J. can’t return to form, then Eddie will likely have to help out back there.

A healthy, effective C.J. is a must for our bullpen to stand a chance.
