Re: Dodgers reach agreement with Jason Schmidt
Hmm a little more then 15mil per year. Zito should def get 17+. Anyway I guess it's a good deal for LA. -

Re: Dodgers reach agreement with Jason Schmidt
Schmidt is younger and will be around longer then Maddux so this was definitely a good deal for the Dodgers.
Somehow me thinks this mean Zito gets 20 mil a year.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Dodgers reach agreement with Jason Schmidt
I'm glad the Cardinals didn't get him and I'm glad the Cubs didn't go after him. They would have been forced to give him at least $55 Mil to get him to come to the Midwest and that money can be better spent.
This is a pretty good signing for the Dodgers though. Penny, Schmidt and Lowe should be a formidable rotation assuming Penny remains in LA. They will need thier young guys to come through big offensively though.Originally posted by billmaticComment

Re: Dodgers reach agreement with Jason Schmidt
These contracts arer seriously getting out of hand. Baseball needs to go the way the NHL did: lockout for a year, wipe everything, start over, and move on. Zito does not deserve that much money, and neither do most other baseball players, but that's the way the market is paying. It's a joke.MLB: Cincinnati Reds
NFL: Cincinnati Bengals
NCAA Hoops: Xavier Musketeers
NCAA Football: Miami Hurricanes
NHL: Calgary Flames

Re: Dodgers reach agreement with Jason Schmidt
Lugo was mainly a utility player, but a hitting-OF (Vernon Wells) should be a top priority of ours. We could afford him and we're rid of Drew's contract now.
I think by signing Schmidt, we've opened the door to trade one of our starters along with some prospects for a Manny Ramirez or Vernon Wells.I write things on the Internet.

Re: Dodgers reach agreement with Jason Schmidt
Sweet, I get to enjoy watching Schmidt tear up the Giants now. Like honestly, what the hell are we doing anyway? We re-sign Durham, Feliz and go out and get Aurilla Molina and Roberts.. it sure as hell they are playing for the short term AGAIN.. yet they let go of the ace and are nowhere close to a deal with Bonds. Good lord.. i thought this year would be different.. a new beginning, but here we are.. just more vets and no identity.
Anyhow, hats off to Jason Schmidt for being one of the better Giants in recent history and staying loyal to us when he could've bolted last time. Although I dislike the Dodgers, I hope he does well.

Re: Dodgers reach agreement with Jason Schmidt
I heard they are going pretty hard at Zito, Jason never had that bull dog attitude. Just think about when he didnt pitch against Florida sure he was hurt, but do you think Clemens would miss that start! He is a *****! And he will be lucky to stay healthy.Comment
