Marlins Sign Mark Buerhle to 4 Year, $58 Million Deal

[tr305]

No, I was obviously wrong about the PR stunt but we threw an absurd offer at Pujols and I would love to see if Wilson's offer was even on the table after we signed Mark.

[Big Z]

Where were you the past two days?

[tr305]

Killing myself with no computer on the road. Just got back in last night. Only info I was able to get was via twitter.

What's fascinating is this is the exact combo most of you in here predicted about two weeks ago. The crap coming out of Dallas is what turned Marlins fans into a false orgasmic state for a 48 hour period...

[CrimsonCane]

Dont insult my intelligence. Going into the offseason I was expecting the White Sox to try and keep him and the Cardinals to try and acquire him. Those scenarios obviously didnt happen because if they had Mark Buehrle wouldnt have been a Miami Marlin. An average offer from either of those teams would have kept him in the midwest no matter what the Fish offered him.

Prove it.

Cite an article. Post a quote. Do anything.

Nothing out there refutes the Marlins offering a large deal to CJ Wilson. He even said it himself, if it were about money he'd be in Miami.

Mark Buehrle introduced

The White Sox made Buerhle an average offer.

Furthermore, if you would have come to the thread and said "heh, guess I blew that one", you would have gotten plenty of dap for it. Instead, you come here and shit all over everyone again.

I highly doubt that.

How about instead of talking out of your ass, you use fucking google?

According to a Sox source, Buehrle has told the team no hometown discount coming this time around. There are about 10 teams interested.

From a Chicago Sun-Times reporter.

He was looking for the best offer. Which is diametrically opposed to what you EMPHATICALLY STATED. Just admit you were wrong because you spoke in absolutes. You said '0%.' Just fucking own up to it.

You are the absolute worst. Worse than any of the real idiots because you have the ability to string together thoughts and sentences, you just choose to fucking ignore that ability and talk out of your ass because you're too arrogant to admit you were wrong.

Just plain dumb is acceptable. Whatever you are is far worse.

[emkayseven]

based on Cracker Barrel's peg game I believe the step below "just plain dumb" is "egg-no-ray-moose"

[Mainge]

God dammit I want cracker barrel in the worst way, now.

Theres kind of a compliment in there.

Buerhle with #Marlins: $6M in 12, 11M in 13, 18M in 14 and 19M in 15. Deal also includes 4M signing bonus, deferred without interest. #MLB

Rosenthal.

They must really be expecting revenue to go up in 14 and 15.

[lou]

Wow only $6 million!

2011 payroll is at like $85 million. They could have fit CJ in under $100 million. This all makes sense now.

[Metes]

Still kinda baffling why they wouldn't chase Edwin with that much wiggle room

[HUGG]

Maybe they're worried they'll end up paying so much for Chris Volstad with more strikeouts (what he was in 2010).
--------------------
Of course he managed to put up the same WAR in 2010 as he did in 2011, so maybe I'm just an idiot.
