MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 The Orioles signing Albert Belle to a 5 year contract for $65 million and then he ended up with the degenerative hip and didn't play for the last 3 years of the contract. The Os decided to pay the contract so that they could claim a majority of it back in insurance. This handicapped the team financially up until this year which is why they now have some $40 million to spend on free agents this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 How about Albert Belle to the White Sox? Then again, it did a lot to end the strike. -=Mike Can you explain that? The signing occured between the '96 and '97 seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2003 I'll toss in San Francisco signing Edgardo Alfonzo for this past season. They pay the guy $4 Mill to hit .259, 13 HR's and a .334 OBP? Hopefully Fonz can improve over the upcoming seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 22, 2003 Weaver came here in a trade, right? If not, the Dream Wrecker should get it. ::grumbles and storms away:: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 22, 2003 Weaver came here in a trade, right? If not, the Dream Wrecker should get it. ::grumbles and storms away:: You traded Ted Lily essentially to get him (3 team deal with Oakland, Yanks, and Tigers) I was leaving Hideki Irabu for you since you're a Yankees fan but since you didn't mention him...The Fat Toad was a bust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 22, 2003 I liked Ted Lily. Eh, Irabu was awful, and damn did I hate him when he played for us (From Day One) but to the best of my knowledge, he never Weavered us, so he gets a little bit of a break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
