Counsell signs with Brewers

[AzKarl]

A new 2 year deal worth around 6 million with option in third year and a 400k buyout. Good luck Craig, we'll miss you but you did what you had to do to keep those paychecks large.

Am I the only one that won't really miss Counsell? I liked him 3 or 4 years ago, but he bores me to no end now. No offense to Counsell lovers.

Good for him, and good for us too since he didn't go to a division rival, and we get a free draft pick as well.

It looked like Gonzo and Counsell were going to be playing for division rivals next year. Gonzo still might and he definitely wants to after hearing his interview on Bickley and MJ. He wants to play the Dbacks as much as possible and was running his mouth about it. Can't really blame him but I still wish he'd just ride of into the sunset.

Once Bautista signs, we'll have 3 high picks in next years draft. Pitching, pitching, pitching. There's gotta be another Webb out there!

I believe that our first rounder is protected as well, but they monkeyed with the draft rules a bit with the new CBA so I'll have to check on that.

Our pick is fine. Here is a link that should be helpful (If it doesn't work, let me know)-
