Reports from ESPN's Keith Law are that the Mariners and Felix Hernandez have agree to a contract extension in the neighborhood of 5 years, 80 million. Let me just start with Wholy Crap!!! We just signed the best young pitcher in baseball until he's 28 for a pretty decent discount, considering we bought out his next two years of arbitration. I couldn't be more excited about this move. And since we saved some money on Felix, who's to say we can't be in the conversation to sign Lee to an extension also? Probably a long shot, but fun to ponder. What I can say is that we are going to be unstoppable if we get the chance to grace the American League playoffs in the fall.
You gotta hand it to Jack Z. He just continues to succeed and make our team better, and its a delight to watch.
***Edit: Just read that Benji Molina has resigned with San Fransico***
Also, Buster Onley tweets that Benji Molina (catcher) has turned down the Mets' Arbitration offer and that the team that makes the most sense to sign him is your home town 9.
Benji Molina's 2009 Line:
.265, 20 HRs, 80 RBI's .285 OBP .442 Slg in a 132 games with the Giants.
They say we need a right handed bat, and I would love to see this guy helping out Adam Moore. Could be interesting.
