At Seattle Sports Insider, there's a giveaway contest for year-end wrapups. Sandy with a sparkling post to take the lead in the HR contest.
Also at SSI, we mosh off Matt Hanna's find that it's better to be able to sucker batters into fishing for balls outside the zone, than to try to throw it by them. David Aardsma is brilliant at throwing the ball by hitters. Brandon League is terrific at inducing fishing.
The Cards apparently are going to give Matt Holliday an 8 x $17.5m contract. Not aware or interested :- ) that superstars are paid in years, Holliday is demanding an annual value over $18m, as a gesture to the Rockies. Hey, I'm sure he could have it, if he'd take five years. Whatevah.
It certainly puts into perspective Jason Bay's struggles to bump his term up from 4 years to 5 vested…
