Anyone hear Richie Sexson's comments?

[Ryanwb]

...on AZSR he said the mounting losses and uncertanty surround next years roster is making his think twice about what to do next season

:roll:

Ugh. Not cool.

I can just feel the outrage brewing within me if he does sign elsewhere.

He may not owe us anything, but that would still frickin' suck.

 

[NJYAJ09]

wow just the other day he had some positive comments and stuff about the organization.

I would think twice too.

As much as I think he should feel he owes the team, he really doesn't. The guy has never been on a winning team, and this next contract he signs could carry him towards the back and of his career. Does he want to take a chance that he'll never play for a winner?

If I'm the Dbacks, I offer Sexson a one year deal around 8 million or so. I would be hesitant to give him a big long term contract, seeing as we don't know how long it will take him to get back to form, if he will, and if this injury will happen again.

If a team like Seattle offers a large, long-term deal then I say we cut our losses now, say "tough luck for us", and move on.

Dont forget to mention that Joe G. should get fired

If it's true the DBacks are trying to get him to sign a one year deal, I can't blame him.

 

[AZZenny]

How typical would that be - sign him for one year when he is almost guaranteed to be way below par most of next year - if he regains his power, it'll be towards the end of next season or in 2006. Look at Danny Bautista, Shawn Green, and others - the full recovery, if it happens, is normally 2 years out from surgery. IF they resign him, and I prefer they do not, it ought to be for a few years with low base and very high incentives. Otherwise, let someone else gamble, and get us some pitchers.

Oh yeah - but first, GM JoeBlows should be fired.

I don't believe Sexson will find a big $$ market for someone coming off the injury he had.

I don't believe Sexson will find a big $$ market for someone coming off the injury he had.

Which is exactly why I'm not overly excited about the Dbacks overpaying for his services.
