Giants Sign Affeldt

Tiny by OmahaGiants on

Per Baggs- THe giants have signed Jermey Affedlt to a two year deal. Terms are not yet available. Isn't affeldt a type A? is it worth a second rounder? It a question will it ad 1 win or 5 wins? Also, per mlbtraderumors we have tended an offer to furcal. Put me in the anti furcal category- bad side of thirty, bad back- no thank you. SO i hope that none else did this while i was typing, rather than dropping in random filler.

And the entire Baggs comment is:

It’s a two-year deal. Checking on terms.

Hope I don’t get in trouble for posting the entire story.

Yes we did!

He's a type B I believe

which means we don’t lose a draft pick. I like Affeldt actually, so if the price isn’t insane this seems like a good deal.

I like the move

Word

That’s exactly what I said to myself when I read that. Depending on the cost, this looks like a good signing.

I just looked at his bb-ref and saw it said 29 for 2008, so I went with 30 for 2009

True ’nough. I was looking at it from the perspective of him being 29 on opening day.

hopefully this prevents a beimel signing

according to fan graphs, affeldt was one of the better bargains this winter

Hey, a good move! I’m kind of stunned.

by Evan on Nov 17, 2008 11:53 AM PST   0 recs

Why?

Sabes, who normally plays it extremely close to vest, explicitly stated relief help and middle infielders.

by wilriv21 on Nov 17, 2008 11:54 AM PST to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, but Affeldt is exactly the relief pitcher I would have gone after. I was expecting Beimel or something.

by Evan on Nov 17, 2008 11:56 AM PST to parent up   0 recs

I expect Beimel still.

by SoFa King Mike on Nov 17, 2008 11:59 AM PST   0 recs

Still curious about the price tag. Throwing money on the bullpen when we have an offense that will prevent us from competing isn’t smart. So if Affeldt is relatively cheap & is the highest bullpen contract we pick up this offseason, then I’ll be happy.

Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.

by ResDog on Nov 17, 2008 11:59 AM PST   0 recs

as long as it's under 10 million...

I’m fine with it, even 2 years, 9 million is a pretty good deal for Affeldt

Do you Wazzel?

by NeifiChicken on Nov 17, 2008 12:13 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Great Move

If we sign Beimel as well and get Furcal or Hudson then I will be very happy.

Better than Beimal.

I’m hoping that we’re still giving Alex Hinshaw some sort of bullpen role.

I think this signing rules out signing Beimel. Hinshaw should be in the pen in 2008. He’s too good not to be.

I always wonder whether something like 3 years for $13 million might not be smarter for the team. 2011 is a long way off; surely a player getting his first shot at big money wouldn’t turn down a guaranteed $2 million, even if it does reduce his annual salary quite a bit.
