In Reply to: It's not that much of a mystery. Kepp plays one position, 2nd, with a weak arm. Fontenot is cheaper, and can back up 2nd, SS and 3rd.

there will probably end up being about a 2mil total difference between Font and Kepp's arbitration numbers this yr...something like 1.5-2mil range for Font vs 3.5-4mil range for Kepp.

It's easy to say 2mil isn't alot of money, but that's right around the amount of money needed to take on a contract mid-season at the trade deadline.

- I rather have Keppinger back. We need a cheap bat and good backup for Franchez!! - juan 2011-12-18 09:07:10 (96 views)
  - +1,000,000..It's a mystery to me why they'd choose Fontenot.. - Ghost Dog 2011-12-18 09:51:20 (41 views)
    - Seems pretty obvious to me. - Earl j. Slick 2011-12-21 13:19:13 (20 views)
    - We're on the same page. I do not get Sabean. He also passed on Josh Willingham who signed for $21 M/3 yrs, but Sabean grabbed Jeremy Affeldt for $10 M/2 yrs. - juan 2011-12-18 14:29:16 (27 views)

        I'm not sure what kind of bumps guys get in arbitration, but without it, it should be less. - juan 2011-12-18 14:01:33 (39 views)
  - Keppinger wasn't going to be all that cheap. - Earl j. Slick 2011-12-18 09:20:51 (25 views)
- Hedging their bets. They won't know how well Posey's ankle holds up until spring training and possibly part way into the season. - starburst 2011-12-17 18:33:54 (42 views)

    - I dunno. He didn't acquit himself well at the Mets. Didn't work hard, refused to pinch hit. According to this, anyway. - starburst 2011-12-18 08:05:03 (47 views)
      - sounds eerily similar to some of the negative shots the Mets media took at Pagan on his way out - JoeDaddy 2011-12-18 12:49:36 (35 views)
        
        Yeah, but that's true for anything. Here is the review of the catching situation for the Mets from the McCovey Chronicles' sister site. - starburst 2011-12-18 14:22:59 (35 views)

        It's always tough to tell. I don't have MLB network and don't see some of those E. coast or AL teams that much. - starburst 2011-12-18 11:44:34 (20 views)

    - sabean gave him a major league deal smh - DJ 2011-12-17 18:04:56 (61 views)
      - Well, yes and no. $600 k if he makes the SF club. $175 k if he's in the minors. - starburst 2011-12-18 11:45:33 (29 views)
        
        he's dead weight on the 40 man roster - DJ 2011-12-18 17:27:20 (30 views)
      - Atleast it's only $600K, they can drop him anytime. Sabean laughs at 600k. - JSlice 2011-12-18 01:25:52 (20 views)

    - It's a team sport. Bullpen catcher is just as important as a decent cleanup hitter. - nuschler 2011-12-17 17:25:40 (27 views)
