Heyman: Darvish expected to sign six year deal
by Adam J. Morris on Jan 18, 2012 1:28 PM CST
Email
PrintJon Heyman writes that sources are telling him that a deal between the Rangers and Yu Darvish will get done today, with the contract expected to be a six year deal.
The deadline for the Rangers to sign Darvish is this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. Central. The Rangers bid $51.7 million for the rights to negotiate with Darvish. If an agreement with Darvish is reached, that money goes to the Nippon Ham Fighters, the Japanese League team which owns Darvish's rights. If an agreement is not reached, the Rangers would not pay the Ham Fighters anything, and Darvish's rights would revert to them, where he would pitch for the 2012 season.
There had been earlier reports that a sticking point in the negotiations had been the length of the deal, with the Rangers wanting to lock Darvish up for six years, while Darvish was asking for just a five year deal. The Rangers are expected to pay Darvish around $10-12 million per season over the life of the deal.

Yes,

It might be new,
it was on sale when I got it. When I first got into bourbon, Knob, Woodford, Gentleman Jack and Maker’s were all similarly priced ($24-27), but when I went last time, Woodford was $40! Knob was still similar and this Knob Reserve was ~$32

question
if i poured a bottle of your favorite beer in a glass, and then poured a draft of the same beer in another glass, do you think you could tell the difference just on taste?
i think its a mental thing.
Depends on the beer.
If it’s Bud Light? Wouldn’t have an idea.
Even beers that would be considered a small step up in quality, it may be difficult to tell for me, especially if I’m not familiar with it.
But with good, high quality beers? Yes, I think I could.

by GhettoBear04 on Jan 18, 2012 2:36 PM CST up reply actions
An argument can be made that
bottle conditioning actually improves some beers. Chimay would be an example. In fact most Belgians “referment” in the bottle. (CO2 is created by the yeast eating the residual sugars in the beer, creating the carbonation, and also affecting the flavor, rather than CO2 just being forced into the beer while its in a keg.)
"Sarah Palin...She met the wombshifter."
Yeah,
I was thinking about this more after I posted. I know that people age beers, and while I’ve had some older beers that I’ve kept in the wine fridge for long term storage, I’ve never done a year by year tasting of the same beer to see how the flavor evolved.

The Anchor Special is great stuff.
I just finished a six of the 2008. One of the nearby liquor stores had sixes of that, the 2009, the 2010, and the 2011 for sale at the same time in December….

The 2008 was very, very good.
The 2011 (I think) I didn’t like as much, but maybe in a couple years…

‘10 is just about right. Loved the ’09. But they’re always a bit too spiced for my tastes when they’re fresh.

This is a good point.
For beers like Belgian Strong Ale, bottle conditioning is key.
Draft wouldn’t be better for those beers…
Garoon: Banned on LSB. Available Only Via Supplement.
I disagree
The second fermentation is key, and many of them will do that in kegs as well as bottles. The Delirium series is a good example. The Nocturnum is brilliant on draft, and the Noel made me weep.

I love the Delirium series.
But there are flavors you can get from bottle-conditioned Belgian Strong Ales that are less easily reached even with the secondary fermentation in the keg, right?
Garoon: Banned on LSB. Available Only Via Supplement.
And, wait:
aren’t the Delirium series bottle-conditioned?!
Garoon: Banned on LSB. Available Only Via Supplement.
Yes
But they will also condition them in casks or kegs. I’ve had both, and no complaints from either. The difference to me is in the level of spice.

Right.
I think the point was not so much that you couldn’t get secondary fermentation in other ways, but that there are, for some beers, specific (and happy) flavor profiles you get from bottle-conditioning, and that draft doesn’t always “beat” that, depending on what you’re looking for.
Garoon: Banned on LSB. Available Only Via Supplement.
Completely agree with that
so the point is moot. Great beer is great beer. And now I get to go home and crack open my Brew Dog Hardcore IPA to start the celebration!

Heffes for sure in bottles
Bottle aged ones as well give you a flavor you can’t get from a tap. Russian Imperial Stouts can take years to reach their best flavor. Draft beer is better 90% of the time but there are definitely times that it isn’t IMO.

As with the Belgians. It was too broad a statement; my bad.

Yeah, I don't get it either
I read something once that Sonic gets a much better deal on the regional / national ad campaign, so they do that rather than pick local spots where they actually, you know, have sonic. Frustrating, but I guess it works since I get Sonic whenever I go somewhere that actually has one.

From Jeff Wilson:
The 4 p.m. deadline to sign Yu Darvish arrives in two hours, and the Rangers and the agents for the right-hander are closing in on a deal that will span five years with a player option for a sixth year.
Major-league sources confirmed the length of the contract, and another said that the financial terms are more friendly to the Rangers than had been anticipated from the outset of the 30-day process to get the Japanese ace signed.
So it is a cheaper but he gets his five years?

for less AAV

by Arlington Stadium Legend on Jan 18, 2012 2:15 PM CST up reply actions
got to be.
its protection for Darvish in case he’s underperforming at end of 5 years. allows him to essentially guarantee himself the extra money. so he can take less in AAV on the 5 years, and at end, he either signs a more luctrative long term deal in free agency, or collects the 6th year option money.
More first world team problems.

will be interesting to see what the $$$$ amount is for the player opt
and compare it to what we think will be the arb tender amount 6 years from now.
theres no incentive for the Rangers to give a $15M player option
If he’s worth $15M at the end of the 5 years, he’d opt out and hit free agency. If he’s not worth it, then he’ll clearly exercise it and the Rangers would be stuck overpaying for him for that final year. kind of why the Player option doesnt make sense from the Rangers side of things.
Yes there is.
The Rangers can reasonably expect to have a larger payroll in 6 years than now thanks to $TV. I’m not advocating for financial shennanigans, but if there were ever a time to backload some money, this would be it.

depends on how much the player option is
maybe it was a way that they worked around a 5yr, no arb offer deal.
If it is a 6 year contract
I expect it to be in excess of $75M, if so kudos to the Rangers Org for ponying up and absorbing high risk for high reward. We shall see.

I'm guessing the 6th year is a big vesting option
Much like Beltre’s. Probably $15M with 375 IP in last 2 years of deal.
thats not really a player option though
would have though Wilson would have specified it as a vesting option. we’ll see.
I don't think it will be a player option
It was reported earlier to be a 6-year deal. Until this thing is officially reported, it is all guesses.
I think that is what it will end up being, too.

yeah with Napolis arb demand
And the likelihood that he is seeking huge money in FA I think they could go after Prince and structure it where it’s backloaded enough to not affect things.
Plus they could structure this Yu deal that way also. Maybe give him a signing bonus today but pro-rate that over the course of the 5 year deal for accounting purposes which could open some money up for Prince. John Danks did something similar I believe with his new deal he signed. He’ll end up making 8 mil this season but 7.5 of that is a signing bonus which can be prorated for accounting purposes. His base salary this year is only like 500k

i think the player option seems ok if you expect him to out perform the contract and to command more in free agency at the end of it, especially if agreeing to the player option allowed them to get a lower AAV for the first 5 years.
I'm just going to think of it as a signing bonus that we don't have to pay for 5 years, I think.

I don't really understand how these players defect
or how Cuba lets it happen. Couldn’t Cuba really easily block this? Do they just not care?
I think it's that they don't want the hassle
and assume that some significant portion of the money will be going back into Cuba.

This guy defected at the same international tournament where Chapman defected a few years ago.

I don't see how it would be difficult to keep an eye on them in a foreign country
Just tell them they aren’t allowed to go anywhere.
I don't think they have the authority to do that.
And if they aren’t criminals, I don’t see how any country would go for extradition.
They don't have the authority to do what?
They can put a personal guard with every player if they wanted to. Or just not go to the Netherlands since it keeps happening there
I misunderstood you.
I thought you meant it should be easy to get them to come back after they’ve escaped your custody.
Oh, no
once they are gone, they are gone. That I generally agree with. Though it is interesting how these 18 year old kids know where to go in the Netherlands where they can be safe.
I have a feeling that they have advocates on their side in the Netherlands
And elsewhere. I doubt they’d escape without any help. That is dangerous.

i always assumed
that the players were afraid of potential ramifications on their family members back in Cuba that theyd have to leave behind, and that fear was what they relied upon to keep players from defecting.
whether thats the case or not, i have no knowledge. seems more likely to have been the case in the past than present day, but you never know.
that was my assumption

Bourboun lasts 1-2 months, generally.
This Scotch, which isn’t anything special, is probably going to go 6.

Yeah,

I think the other issue is that I can talk friends and family into bourbon or mixed drinks with bourbon, but I’m the only one I know who drinks Scotch.

it really is.
i live in Colorado. had some buddies come up to ski this weekend. We finished off the weekend with cigars and a bottle of Glen. its the little things.
Any scotch will do, as long as it's not a blend, of course.
Single malt, Glen Livet, Glen Galley, perhaps…any Glen.

Is there a guy (or gal) there who knows their Scotch?
At Binny’s, for example, I know which Scotches I’ve had and enjoyed — but if I want something new, and want to spend a bit more, I always ask for suggestions.
That’s how I wound up with an amazing bottle of Duncan Taylor NC2 13-y.o. Laphraoig — which I’m sad to finish, and need to buy more of.

Totally fair.
But I’m talking more about price points, here. Glenlivet 12 is, what, $30-35 for a 750mLbottle? And Macallan 12 is, what, $40?
But what happens when you push up to the 18…?
Garoon: Banned on LSB. Available Only Via Supplement.
well, the Macallan 18 is different
ive only had the pleasure of a couple glasses, but its primo. and youll pay for it.
but with respect to 12 years, my enjoyment of a Glenlivet 12 and Macallan 12 are about the same. not enough differentiation to justify paying the extra $5-10.
but thats just me.

Right. Where I'm coming from, though, is for new Scotch drinkers.
I’d want them to try both the Glenlivet and Macallan 12s, and see what they think - and at the $30$40 price point, they can do that without destroying their liquor budget.
When it comes to the Macallan 18, though — I mean, it’s a great Scotch, but for $130 (or whatever), I can think of a lot of cheaper Scotches I’d recommend someone new-ish try first.
Heck, I don’t buy Macallan 18, because there are so many cheaper Scotches I enjoy as much, if not more.

i wouldnt advocate anyone spend more than about $40 on a Scotch if they werent really big Scotch drinkers. youll be wasting money.

$32M over the next 2 years
And they aren’t a contender. And Butler has a decent chance of being better than Young over the next 2 years.
Young may be under 6 WAR on paper
But his intagibles make the difference on a team like the Royals. His selflessness would be contagious, and get everyone on the same page.
Plus you have a guy who can field at every infield position. $16m per is a hell of a price tag but I can see him being responsible for an extra 20 wins and a shot at the wildcard.

Using other mushrooms is kind of dangerous on pizza
Can ruin a flavor profile since they are so strong. Definitely have to go veggie pizza if you are going to do it.
I usually don't put mushrooms on my pizza
Unless you saute them first, they release too much water. Sometimes I’ll saute assorted wild mushrooms in EVOO, garlic and shallots and make a wild mushroom only pizza.
My preferred use is wild mushroom bruschetta
