Teixeira watch part IX....The final stages?

[hihop07]

I think it responds to what is posted in the forum. If we talk about the red sox a lot then that advertisement shows up. If we start talking about something else a lot then another advertisement will come up. It is pretty neat actually.

Really? Now I see premium bird spikes. Ouch.

Perhaps a future logo? :laughlol:

If we start talking about jessica alba a lot. Because Jessica Alba is hot and we all like Jessica Alba. I bet something with Jessica Alba will eventually come up at the bottom. Mainly because Jessica Alba loves google and google loves Jessica Alba. You do know Jessica Alba right? I mean The Jessica Alba.

We Did!!! YES!!!

Its not all good news, it been reported that to pay for the contract Dunder Mifflin is going to close its Utica office and layoff the 22 workers there

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: :clap3::clap3::clap3: OH YEAH!

But I just saw an ad for "rewriting the record books" so maybe we could rewrite the record books for actually signing a premium free agent!!

Did I mention Jessica Alba. It is kind of fun to try and make Jessica Alba show up in the ads. I will stop now with the Jessica Alba talk so the mods don't get pissed at me. Even though I am just having some fun with Jessica Alba.

Would you believe it even if you read it?

Wouldn't shock me to be honest. I will explain why. Unlike before when Boras was trying to establish a market, teams now have kind of established it for him. Let's assume that no one has offered 8 years, but that they all have offered 8.

Boston 8/168

Orioles 8/175

Nationals 8/160

Yankees 8/160 (Offer was pulled)

If the Orioles go 8/175 I think they land Teixiera. I think the trick to dealing with his opt out is to back load the contract a bit, then if he walks he loses a portion of the money. Here is a breakdown:

$6 Million signing bonus

09 $17.5 Million

10 $17.5 Million

11 $18.5 Million

12 $18.5 Million

13 $23.75 Million

14 $23.75 Million

15 $23.75 Million

16 $23.75 Million

On the flip side if he waives the opt out then the break down is as follows:

$10 Million signing bonus

09 $20 Million

10 $24 Million

11 $24 Million

12 $24 Million

13 $20 Million

14 $20 Million

15 $16.5 Million

16 $16.5 Million

The Red Sox will not lose Tex over $7M.

Tex may very well pick the contending team if there is only $7M difference.

[UMDTerrapins]

Was anybody watching the Troy vs Southern Miss game? Ugh! Poor guy.

[Dirtyburnie]

The Red Sox will not lose Tex over $6M.

Tex may very well pick the contending team if there is only $6M difference.

I agree, he would pick the contending team

What happened?

Receiver for Southern Miss had a Theisman like leg snap. Just makes your heart sink watching it.

684 people logged into OH. Everybody just waiting. I think everyone is just burnt out from all this. It is kind of weird to see that many people and have the threads moving this slowly with nobody posting.
