Rich Harden is dead, AKA, day to day.
I have always thought highly of Rich Harden and I have always rooted for him to be healthy and fulfill his seemingly vast potential as a pitcher. I don't hold his injury history against him at all, as some seem to do, but I am a bit frustrated as a fan to see him injured yet again. I did have the pleasure of meeting him once when he was in Toronto and he was one of the more pleasant professional athletes that I have ever interacted with. He was very polite and respectful and engaged in a fun banter with myself and two of my friends. Anyhow, he threw yesterday for the first time since he was hurt and did not die. However, Geren had this to say about Harden's session:
"He's day-to-day, so we will see how he feels tomorrow."
Of course this means that he is on his death bed and might never been seen again.
The article goes on to mention Duke's health status as well. At least it does not say that he is day to day.
And since I am a runner I am going to include running content. Lance Armstrong is running boston. I was a bit miffed, don't ask me why, when he beat my marathon PR. The thought of being able to say that I am a faster marathoner than Lance is kind of cool. He goes on to say that for the sake of keeping all sports clean that all athletes should be tested year round, otherwise some will be "picked on". Part of me thinks that he just wants an offseason in which cyclists could get away with doping, but the cynic in me is day to day.

They really work those young arms.
The hapless hurler had already sent down over 250 pitches, allowing 26 runs in the first inning and 40 in the second before Kawamoto asked for mercy."At that pace the pitcher would have thrown around 500 pitches in four innings," Kawamoto’s coach was quoted as saying. "There was a danger he could get injured."

Any word on DJ? He was DFA on the 9th, which would make tomorrow day 10. It would seem
he has already cleared waivers, and they will either trade him, or he will be starting in Sacramento on Sunday.

No
They HAVE to waive him DURING the DFA period.
If he clears waivers, it’ll be announced that day. We should be getting an announcement this afternoon as to whether he’s been outrighted or claimed, unless there’s an 11th hour trade.

Rays waste no time locking up Longoria
Friday afternoon at a news conference at Tropicana Field, the Rays and the rookie third baseman announced an agreement on a nine-year contract.The salaries for the first six years of the agreement are guaranteed with the team holding a one-year option for 2014 season and a subsequent two-year option for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. The contract guarantees $17.5 million. If the Rays exercise both options, Longoria would earn more than $44 million over the life of the nine-year agreement.

Howzat?
He’s getting MLB minimum for 3 years, so that’s about $1.2 million of the total. OK, so $16.3M for arbitration Year Zero (Super Two), Year One and Year Two. Then presumably $27M for Year Three and his first two free agency seasons.
Let’s put this in perspective here. As of right now, with 20 MLB at-bats under his belt, he has just signed a contract that will guarantee that he can retire in substantial luxury once his baseball career is over. The correct question is, how greedy would you have to be to NOT sign that contract?

He's getting less than $5M/year.
If he gets hit by a bus tomorrow, it’s a great deal for him. If he performs to his believed capabilities, he could easily make the following:
1-3: $1.2M
4-6: $24M (arby wins)
7-9: $45M (as part of long-term deal. $15M per is exceptionally conservative for an All-Star caliber 3B, especially what they’re likely to make six years from now.
So, has he set himself up for life? Sure. Has he cost himself $25M in the process? Pretty good chance of it.

As noted, he’ll make a gazillion trillion dollars in free agency anyway if he doesn’t bust.

I don't find it offensive,

You seem to be persistently ignoring the fact that Longoria is getting something incredibly important out of this deal, which is income certainty for his entire life.
I cannot fathom how there is any argument against signing this contract. It’s not a bad thing for the players if pre-arbitration guys start getting paid more than the MLB minimum. Maybe Don Fehr dislikes it, I don’t know. But Don Fehr is a dope.

This is his deal
2008 – $500,000
2009 – $550,000
2010 – $950,000
2011 – $2-million
2012 – $4.5-million
2013 – $6-million
2014 – $7.5-million or $3-million buyout
2015 – $11-million or $1-million buyout of two-year option.
2016 – $11.5-million
They’re paying him the first 3 years what they would basically pay him anyways.
And then the arb years: $2M, $4.5M, $6M and then another $4m if they do not pick up his options. In terms of FA value, ie a player gets 40% of his FA value in his 1st arb year, 60% in his 2nd, 80% in his 3rd, that is $5M, $7.5M, $7.5M, with another $4M, with a $5M FA value, tacked on if they do not pick up his options, total of $25M /3 . That is what a slightly above league average player gets today, around 2-2.5 wins above replacement. In 2008. In 2011-2013 it is almost certainly going to be more.
So, they are valuing him at basically, league average, not over the entire deal, but only the last 3 guaranteed years. If he becomes league average in years 4-6, they get what they are paying him.
How is this not a bargain? Even a HUGE bargain. He’s not a pitcher. Yeah, there’s some risk. Conversely, there’s also the risk that he becomes a star, and they are going to have to pay him a HUGE deal to retain him.

I didn't say it wasn't a bargain
nor that it was a bad deal for the Rays.
Not sure where you acquired that impression.
It’s precisely the fact that most of these pre-arbitration deals make so much sense for both sides that creates such a strong incentive to sign them. I don’t really understand why anybody would go the Ryan Howard route anymore. The risk just isn’t worth taking when you’re going to make enough money to retire on anyway.

It's not a bad deal for him, but it's an outstanding deal for the Rays
As for him, he could either play well or bust/career ending injury. If he busts/has a career ending injury it’s a good deal for him, obviously, since he’ll be a millionaire. If he plays well, he’ll have this $44 million, plus another 50-100 when it ends, as opposed to getting another 15-20 million on those option years. So he’d do worse, to be sure, but he’d be doing worse in terms of losing out on an extra 20 million on top of 75-100 million that he already has, whereas with this contract he’s guaranteed himself 17 million.
As I said, though, outstanding deal for the Rays. Those options are great deal. They’re gonna be very good in a few years.

Another Greasemonkey Script!!
I think you guys are really going to dig this one. I’ve created a script that removes a bunch of the excess junk from MLB Gameday pages. Check out and install the script.
Here’s what it looks like in action:
See how much less stuff there is at the top of the page? That means less scrolling and more baseball. ;-)

That's way above my head for now.
Maybe I can mess with the old killfile source code and make something happen.
Of course, if you try to killfile me, it’ll my script will format your hard drive.

customized A's tshirts
anybody know where i can order a customized A’s tshirt (i want a barton one!) besides through the mlb.com store?
i want the usual green tee with the yellow “Athletics” on the front but i don’t want the white name and number on the back that the mlb store sells! i’d like one with the yellow name and number on the back like the shirts they sell in the stores.
i’m sure somebody has posted this question before but i can’t search comments on new AN! (or can i??)
