He was at 25 million in salary at the end of the 2012 season. He came back for a bit over 1 in 2013 and played one game in the majors in 2014 (no salary listed). You think what he is going to make on the MiL deal moves the needle for him financially?

This is a guy that had:

eight trips to the disabled list from 2003-2010 for, in order, Tommy John surgery, a strained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, a strained right oblique, left hip inflammation, left shoulder impingement, left shoulder inflammation, and left shoulder surgery
.

I have to think pitching isn't a pleasant sensation for him these days and he is still going out there trying to make a team.

If he makes the ML team it probably gets pushed to a mil or two with incentives, maybe innings. And for him, throwing a little over 5 per that's easy money. Especially for what he invests at this point in his career. He is who he is.

For someone that never looked to care for the game he sure has been willing to work at hanging on.

I would have bet he would have been one of those to just disappear.

I remember an interview with him saying (paraphrasing) that he was particular about limiting his innings and preventing injury so he could stay around and have an extended career (and a paycheck I presumed).

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
