ugh.
Didn't he just sign one last season? Not that I'm complaining much, hopefully it's a good deal and makes him more trade able if it comes to that.
Considering the Reds current depth in the upper minors this isn't bad move if the money is fair.
Not a fan of this unless it's ridiculously cheap.
As long as he doesn't block Bruce, Hamilton, whomever when they are ready, sounds fine as long as the dollars are not crazy.
This has to signal a return to the role of super sub does it not? In coming seasons that is.
So does this mean his Hall of Fame plaque will be featured with a Reds cap?
It was after the '05 season according to MLB4U:
Quote:
signed 2-year deal worth 3M thru 2007 season on 12/19/05- + he receives salaries of 1.3M in 2006 and 1.7M in 2007- + his 2007 salary can increase to 2M with with 200PA in 2006- + his 2007 salary could rise as high as 2.65M with 650PA- + 2005 salary: 405K
Press conference at 4pm according to Fay's blog.

*edit* just saw that the John Fay blog entry was about his old extention.
I didn't see this one coming. Kind of shocking, actually.
