Some of B.A.'s thoughts on some arbitration

I have to say, it kind of pisses me off that the Indians offer Rafael Betancourt $1.75 million, $750k shy of what Betancourt asked for.

Over his career, he has a 158 ERA+, a 1.057 WHIP (even more important for relievers), a home run allowed only once every 11 innings, and 9.14 K/9 IP.

Last year, he had a 312 ERA+ and a 0.756 WHIP.

Yes.

Three. Hundred. Twelve. Zero. Point. Seven. Five. Six.

I know he's 33, but he has been a fantastic bullpen arm ever since he came up in 2003. He was probably the best reliever in baseball last year. Awesome, AWESOME set-up man. And you won't even meet his $2.5 million wishes.

That's such crap.

Thankfully the Yanks are trying to work out a 4 year deal for Cano. Reportedly worth about $30 million. Lock this guy up. He's the second best 2nd baseman in baseball (behind of course Chase Utley).

It won't be long before my next post, I'm about to start it now. Wait til you read this gem, foo's!
