I wouldn't go that far. But I'd rather not trade for Phillips and his contract. Howie Kendrick is younger and has a shorter and cheaper contract. To me he makes much more sense than Phillips.Originally Posted by PawPawMaxwell
I dont disagree with that but the Angels stated needs and reason for trading Kendricks would be to get some young pitching. Uggla just doesnt fit there. And to top that, any money we would eat of Ugglas contract would have to be added to the cost of Kendricks.

To complete their transition into the Atlanta Braves, the Kansas City Royals will move to south Atlanta and will play all home games at Turner Field.

It appears the Royals big announcment is that they have signed Jason Vargas to a three year deal.
Edit: It's actually a four year deal

Apparently they (Royals) signed SP Jason Vargas to a three year pact.
Edit: Make that 4 years. Lordy, lordy.
$32 million.

The pitching market has been insane so far this offseason.
Per Rosenthal, Vargas got a four year, $32M deal

It's a good thing the Braves farm system is an efficient factory when it comes to producing pitching. Inflation in the FA market increases the comparative advantage of teams that produce a lot of young cost-controlled talent.
I wonder what David Hale would fetch in the trade market.
I was about to say, FA pitching price increase should increase value of pitching at the minor league level. maybe a hair less so, but still.

I dont think thats that bad of a deal for the Royals. 8 million is right about the price you pay for an average starter these days. Right around the same amount they gave Guthrie last offseason. Mid rotation starters get 15 million a year in this market, #2 starters get 16-20 million and aces get 25-30 million. Vargas is atleast tied with Guthrie for second best starter on the team. I know people are going to hate on the length of the deal but I bet you its going to be backloaded a little and they could still trade him after 2 years without having to eat any salary.

I'd try for Capuano at 8-9M. 1 year plus an option.

Damn I wish I could throw 90 MPH...
Is it possible for Uggla talk and trade proposals to be confined in the Uggla thread?
8 mil a year for 4 years for Vargas is pretty ridiculous.
If only to make sure we don't have to face him again.
Agreed, this is becoming pretty standard.
Wonder what Ervin is going to get on the market.
16 per?
14-15M, 4 or 5 years
