I don't care about the rep.

I do care about being called a liar.

You lied about not having got rep. Or were just mistaken. That's all I really know about it. And all the rest of the folks need to know.

At the time I said it, I hadn't received anything.

But that's really tertiary to the conversation. So we can drop it.

At the time you said it, you had received it. As had the other party. You just missed it. I chose not to prove it until you made the deal of it. Which was later. So we can drop it. I'm ok with you.

It's possible I had. Like I said, not important. Certainly not for the main board. We're cool.

Rep here. Too. I never saw that before. Thank you. What does Manny feel is a fair deal for him to sign? Right now. Because I am on team Manny.

I give him the Trout deal - $6 yr, $144.5 mil - except perhaps a tick less and more front-loaded.

2016 $10 mil (about five more than arbitration)

2017 $17 mil

2018 $23 mil

2019 $30 mil

2020 $30 mil

2021 $30 mil

---------------

6 yr, $140 mil

Chen is insisting on a five year deal. Industry reports are an AAV of 20 million? Wow! Dan Duquette was a genius!

Free agent pricing is out of control if Chen is a 20 million dollar player. I mean, of course it's ready out of control but to think of Chen, a decent but not outstanding pitcher, being worth almost 20% of an average pay roll is ridiculous.

League Average Lefty. Or slightly better.

I would edit Connolly's number to 0 out of 10.
