Nope. 2007 is it.

Minor league careers:

Miles: .289 AVG / .338 OBP / .401 SLG / .739 OPS
Ryan: .303 AVG / .349 OBP / .394 SLG / .743 OPS

Wow, that's pretty similar.

I'm already wanting Wells back next year. Jumping the gun, I'm sure, but I'm all for it.

H.G.

This team is starting to look like science fiction.

Eck another three year contract?

Signing a 32-year old slap-hitting singles hitter with modest to below average speed and league-average defense to a three-year deal? Better be at very very low dollars, so you're not too unhappy when he is performing at the level of a utility infielder . . .

Wasn't suggesting signing Eck for another 3/11. Was suggesting we'd need to budget around $5M for that spot.

I know, Magyar, someone on page one mentioned being nervous about another deal for Eck, and I was agreeing.

2007-8 FA options:
Eck
Juan Uribe
Izturis

Gulp.

Might as well through Ryan out there for the league min and spend the money on Jermaine Dye or Ichiro.
