Quick question...
Why would there be negotiations on a 1 yr deal? Dont the Rays have to pay the arb figure?
Can't they negotiate to avoid arb?

It would appear that Raffy's homer-prone tendancies come mostly against lefties, any chance that we use him in
much the same role he was in last year. Would be interesting to see dual-firemen that can come in anywhere in the 7th-9th if it’s a high leverage siutation.
This is pretty interesting:

well he gets paid through arb no matter what
6.5-9 million are the arb estimates I have seen. I expect he has no reason to discount from that, so contract will have to at least be at the low end of those figures for the player to agree. So why wouldn’t the player just be content with going to arbitration?
Just smack me real hard.

What did they do the last 5 years with the best recruiting class in the ACC every year? Do you know anything about football recruiting? Stars don’t equal talent. They equal offers. Maybe if FSU developed some talent it might be different.
No agreed
that has been the problem obviously, you just don’t know anything about what’s going on at FSU now and are just assuming it will be the same as it was under Bowden.

Of course not
It’s just I probably have more hope for jimbo than you do, because of the offenses i’ve witnessed under other coaches and what he has been able to do, and whoever our D coordinator is will do better (not better than Andrews) but better than last year.

Also FSU continues to have great recruiting classes
since Bowden left FSU has shot up from like #35 to top 15 (9 on ESPN), but like glass said we still need to change the past and develop these players.

FSU's never gotten quite bad enough to completely become a laughing stock
And that’s unfortunate. There was so much animosity among the Bowden holdovers last year (especially Amato), more than was reported. Addition by subtraction, although Jimbo really hasn’t done much with the offense yet.
I disagree about the offense
offensive effeciency stats were off the charts with Ponder, and not bad with EJ Manuel, also you probably know this but Amato punched Fisher on a plane this year, so that got more out into the open also.
the ghost of stokes, camp, lugo strikes TB-sept 2009

Yeah, the punch is out there
But Bobby was pretty loyal to his boys and never got any of that stuff “fixed” and there were other incidents. Friend of a friend thing. Chucky will be coaching high school somewhere next year, maybe. FSU with Ponder scared me as a Gator fan… the first half of 09 was the only period during Jimbo’s tenure when their offense was close to their “standard”. If they don’t beat the Gators in ’10 at Doak, they never will.
haha
ya, no doubting how good the Gators are/will be again. I’d give Jimbo until ‘11 to make any judgments as head coach though, and like you said the jury is still kind of out there on the offense. Most important thing is the D, Tebow’s tears couldn’t heal those wounds.

Note my reply above
The offense was pretty good with Ponder, but the first half of this year is the first time the FSU offense was anything close to good under Jimbo. However, with so many back on the O next year, they should be respectable to good on offense. 10-2 or 7-5 depends on how well they replace Mickey Andrews’ scheme.

I don't understand what you're saying.
Look at the positional spectrum. Just about anyone can play COF and play it better than their current position. It’s not hard to move from second/third/short to left field and perform well with the glove. Not many 3B/2B/OF are moving to short and doing well.

Bullpen shows Rays want team depth
The Rays appear to know more than many that team depth is what keeps you going through a 162 game season. The minor league depth and platoons help the team keep plugging along in case of injury. At short there’s Brignac. At second there’s Zobrist/Sean-Rod/Brig, at OF there’s CC/Upton/Joyce/Kapler/Jennings etc…pitching depth and now relief depth.
This is important for a team like the Rays that can’t afford replacements like other teams if someone gets hurt. Depth is what keeps this team going. And getting Soriano gave late-game depth to pair with Howell, thus making the rest of the bullpen stronger.

The money Soriano is getting is not guaranteed.
Does that mean he has to earn it by playing or performing to a certain goal?
It means that if they cut him at any point during the season, he's not paid for what's left.
I guess it gives them an immediate escape route if the team’s not competing; and he should be good enough to quickly latch on somewhere else.

I don't think that's how it works in MLB
I’m pretty sure, in MLB, it just means that if he makes the roster, he gets paid, but if he’s cut during spring training he wouldn’t, and if he gets sent down to AAA, he would get AAA salary and not major league salary. All contracts become guaranteed once the season starts.

If someone's been around for long enough
and they’re not on the AAA roster, than another team can take him. No need to clear through waivers to send to a lower level in the AAA/AA portions – the team just keeps him.
Wlodarczyk had his moments early in his career, but he’s old and his velocity (and effectiveness) have dropped. No huge loss.

It IS guaranteed
There was a report that Soriano’s deal is non-guaranteed. That is not correct. It is guaranteed. Had Soriano gone to arbitration the contract would have been non-guaranteed as are all contracts for free agents that accept (and go to) arbitration.
