Baseball contracts are crazy

[HHR]

they made it this far.

If they ever get the attendance up at random games in the middle of season, i think they could overtake teh NFL in revenue.

The lowest attendance in the league belongs to Cleveland...at 20,000+ a game.

That's STRONG.

I honestly don't know anyone who watches or goes to baseball games. But damn near every one messes with Football and more people mess with Basketball over baseball but then again I know lot's of negros.

Phillies sell out every game...from the outside looking in the team seems to do pretty well financially

 

[HHR]

I didnt say 2morrow or next wk. But it just seems like MLB is living off a bubble right now. Networks throwing money at teams. Cant believe the money the Angels got from Fox. But eventually that bubble will burst. Half of the league has no chance of winning. Eventually u would think fans will tire of that. Local ratings will drop like national ratings. And I wonder what the league will become.

Which teams?

4 months ago you'd have said the Orioles and Pirates........

I know Seattle is trash. It has to be like 10 more teams that just have no chance. Right?

He's been consistently average, so they know what they will get.

 

[Ohms Law]

I hate when casual fans make threads

Hes the #3 only because well he has two of the top 10 pitchers in all of baseball in front him

Career 3.38 ERA
Career 1.14 WHIP
8.5 K/9 inning
Constantly near 200 IP every year
Is 28 years old


Matt Cain on the other hand has worse stats except a slightly better ERA. Hamels is a lefty and has some good stuff that isnt dependent on speed.

Hes not worth 23mm a year but its a 6 year contract and baseball is booming

at Hamels being better than Cain.

You have to play for 6 years to even see any type of real money first. I guarantee you that the majority players don't reach that plateau. You dudes think everyone is getting big money. The only problem I have with baseball contracts are the years. Baseball is doing a lot better than Basketball. NBA is closer to The NHL in profitability.

Don't you think if baseball was going to go bankrupt, the owners would have been pissed & threatened to lock out by the end of the CBA? Sort of like the NBA

A Rod made half a billy thats cray

Matt Cain threw 14 K's in a Perfect Game....so its not like he is a scrub

 

[Lakers Offseason]

Baseball has 162 games. A bad attendance on a baseball game is 20,000 All the ticket sales and revenue each game

All those games are also televised locally, or nationally

MLBPA knows how much the owners are caking so players are gonna eat well too

Unless everyone just stops watching and attending games, they're gonna continue to
