Aroldis Chapman signs 30MM contract with NLC club

[HoustonGM]

Francoeur gets a lot of hate from basically everyone. I think it's more envy and jealousy though.

No, it's because he sucks and you're overrating him because he was decent with the Mets. You hated the trade when it happened and called it the low-point of the season or something similar, but since Francoeur was alright in 75 games with New York, you've completely reversed your opinion and let yourself be blind to any logic.

payments spread out over 10 years, 5 year deal with a player option for a 6th year at 25 million, could get up to 30 in that 6th year

Well, I do wish I were Francoeur. It'd be pretty awesome to be a big league player, he makes millions, I'm sure he pulls far more tail than I ever will, so, yeah, I would love to be him. But that goes for pretty much any big leaguer regardless of their skill, so that has no bearing on whether or not he sucks.

I sure as **** don't want him on my ballclub.

I value him higher than any other player on the Mets now

Good for you.

His performance is more crucial to the team's success he is really a hit or miss guy at the moment

[mattynokes]

Shut up. He's better than anyone the Tigers have (besides Cabrera and maybe Inge)

What do the Tigers have to do with anything? Francouer sucks. Sure he has great defense, but he'll only hit 15-20 homers with a ~.310 OBP. Overall he's a below average ball player.

You don't get to criticize my team when your team isn't much better.

Id take him in Triple A as a possible reserve in case of injuries

Or as a 4th/5th outfielder, def not as a starter.

But they are much better. 16 wins, in fact.

Injury (noun)- any physical damage to the body caused by violence or accident or fracture etc.

So you get to randomly tell me who my favorite team is? I don't see where I announced my favorite team. It's like that old saying, "It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."
