Francisco Rodriguez No Longer an Angel, Signs with New York Mets

A's fans, I know we weep today because we will no longer have Francisco Rodriguez to face in an Angels uniform. After setting the single-season record for most saves, Goggle-Rod has officially signed with the New York Mets.
So no more sulk offs. No more Klown Power. It's over. Our glorious memories off Francisco Rodriguez are over.
At the same time, we no longer have to watch the fool act like an idiot every time he gets a save or point to the sky when someone launches a deep drive to the outfield as though it's just a mere pop-up.
I think the Angels will actually be fine. Someplace where they are not hurting is the bullpen with Shields there and Arredondo there. And I kind of wish K-Rod was still around because I really think that he's going to get hurt sooner rather than later. It would've been nice to have had the Angels tie up a bunch of money on an injury liability.
By the way, be sure to check out our SBN hot stove hub when you get a chance. We're feeding all of the related stories into that spot.

As much as I feel bad for the Mets imploding at the end the last two years
I kind of hope K-Rod blows a big game for them. I don’t like that guy.

I doubt I'll be spared his post-win douchebaggery
K-Rod playing in New York = having to see endless highlights. Ugh. Hopefully, the Mets’ unflinching loyalty to tanking will rub off on him.

I actually watch quite a few Mets games

It’s a bit funny that everyone hates K-Rod on this board. He has superb numbers. Ironically, only the very good (or annoying) players are hated.

furcal's agent is a bonehead
5:32 p.m. — Furcal’s price to drop?
The failure of free-agent closer Francisco Rodriguez to get the contract he initially desired has encouraged teams that the prices for other prominent free agents might also drop.
Specifically, two teams interested in Rafael Furcal — the Dodgers and Blue Jays — are hoping that they can now make serious runs at the free-agent shortstop.
The Dodgers are willing to offer a multi-year deal, sources say, but only a dollar amount they find acceptable.
by Asfan4ever723 on Dec 9, 2008 2:44 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Man...
He must really not want to come to Oakland. It’s becoming exceedingly obvious that he can’t scrape together a better deal—at least, length-wise—but he still won’t sign.
Ryan Sweeney: I probably irrationally embraced him before you did.
by Joey C. on Dec 9, 2008 3:26 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
according to the LA Times
Oakland is still interested in Furcal, because they want a “premier defensive shortstop” for their young pitchers…and all this time I thought they wanted him for his bat…
the article also says that the A’s aren’t that interested in Cabrera because he would cost a high draft pick.

furcal still wants 4 years
6:47 p.m. — Agent: Four teams eye Furcal
Paul Kinzer, the agent for Rafael Furcal, said four teams remain in the running for the free-agent shortstop — the Dodgers, Blue Jays, Royals and A’s.
“Toronto and Kansas City told me the only guy they would go to ownership for is Furcal,” Kinzer said. “They’re serious.”
He is seeking a four-year guaranteed contract. The Dodgers have been unwilling to go to that level, and the A’s withdrew temporarilly last week after Furcal rejected their four-year proposal.
If the Royals signed Furcal, they would move Mike Aviles to second base.

If Rodriguez pitches the same number of innings in '09 as '08...
…it’ll come out to about $180,000 per inning (outing).

Good numbers to remember
when you yell at the bullpen guys (esp FRod), “If you’re making $180k for three outs, how about buying a round for the fans paying your salary??!!!”
..even if the money comes from TV etc.
Maybe FRod gives up a run to tie in the NL, and they decide to bat him next inning??
Can’t wait for that!!!
