What kind of guy would put no arbitration in his contract? Carlos Beltran, that's who. The guy wants to be free. Do you want some insurance?

The fine print in Beltran's contract is giving me a headache.

The Giants want to win another championship. Not be pretenders. If we can lock up Pierre or Crisp first, then that is the way to go*.

* Unless you're going for someone like Jose Reyes and have a good shot at him. LOL.

- That's not fine print. It's just a good move. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-25 09:38:51 (60 views)
  - Good move? Beltran got 7-years, $119-million. Is that how you show your appreciation by putting that in the contract? Personally, I would not offer a high-priced deal with a "no arbitration" clause in it. - juan 2011-11-26 03:34:14 (83 views)
    - Appreciation? WTF are you talking about? - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-28 09:34:03 (21 views)
      - WTF am I talking about? You're an attorney. I could care less if the Mets got stuck with a no arb deal, but it was the Giants. LOL. - juan 2011-11-28 10:40:38 (40 views)
        
        My point was that it was a smart move for Beltran. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-29 08:30:58 (19 views)
        
        Yeah, in a different light. To me, it shows that Beltran is a selfish bastard and wants to go to Yankees or Red Sox, so I would be trying to get a piece as insurance like Crisp or Pierre. - juan 2011-11-29 12:14:05 (29 views)
        
        Sabean is waiting. - Earl j. Slick 2011-11-30 09:15:45 (18 views)
        
        I don't think Sabean is sitting on his hands waiting... - juan 2011-11-30 12:38:18 (22 views)
