Giants set to hand Posey an estimated $7.5 million
REPORTS PLACE BONUS IN $7.5 MIL NEIGHBORHOOD
By Andrew Baggarly Mercury News
Article Launched: 08/13/2008 10:20:03 PM PDT
The Giants are on the cusp of signing first-round pick Buster Posey to
a major league contract worth roughly $7.5 million, industry sources
told the Mercury News.
The signing bonus, while spread over multiple years, would obliterate
the club record for an amateur player. Dominican teenage outfielder
Rafael Ramirez received $2.55 million in July.
It's also would exceed the $6.15 million that Tampa Bay gave to the
first overall pick, high school shortstop Tim Beckham.
Giants player personnel director Bobby Evans declined to confirm the
buzz among industry-wide sources, saying said the club would announce
deals once they have been completed. But General Manager Brian Sabean
said earlier Wednesday that the club might not sweat to the 11th hour
of Friday's deadline.
"Possibly, but it's getting closer,'' Sabean said.
Posey, who won the Golden Spikes award as the best amateur player in
the country, led Florida State to the College World Series and
projects as a Gold Glove catcher with premier offensive skills.
The Giants also went beyond the recommended slot value to sign their
third-round pick, Texas Tech outfielder Roger Kieschnick. He received
a $525,000 bonus, $40,000 over the recommended amount. The club didn't
announce a deal with their fourth-round pick, UCLA shortstop Brandon
Crawford, but Bruins officials have been told that he signed for
$375,000 — exceeding slot value by $92,000. |

This is the last nail in Sabean's coffin. This finally proves to me that he
is merely a buzz-listener. The buzz now is that the Giants need to rebuild
from within, so he is prepared not only to offer an unproven prospect a
record contract - he is prepared to exceed the previous record by 5 MILLION
DOLLARS. This guy better be Yogi Berra and Johnny Bench combined in one
body for that price. And he better have Bob Uecker's gift of gab. But, who
knows, since he has never played one inning outside the college level.
God help us and get this freaking moron out of our organization. |

Maybe you should read about Posey before you start whining about
Sabean, Einstein. >> Stay informed about: Giants set to hand Posey an estimated $7.5 million |

I am part of the lunatic fringe and am offended by this thread .. I am in
favor of dumping Sabean and his brain trust though.

am.

Henry just posted to the blog that Evans says the deal is not done and
it's probably not for as much as first reported. When you think about
how much the other picks before and after Posey are supposed to be
signing for, the $7.5 million does seem out of place. >> Stay informed about: Giants set to hand Posey an estimated $7.5 million |

You know, a guy comes home after a particularly trying day at work, has a
couple of drinks, gets a bit of a buzz, reads through an article quickly,
and maybe, just maybe, read it incorrectly, or maybe, just maybe, the
article itself was incorrect. Then he gets incensed over it, and makes a
post like I did last night.
But maybe it's good to do that once in awhile, because you find out who
actually belongs in your killfile, based on their responses. >> Stay informed about: Giants set to hand Posey an estimated $7.5 million |

How can one read this incorrectly: "Giants set to hand Posey an estimated
$7.5 million"? Well, perhaps an idiot would...
