Am I blackballed?

Wig · 01-02-2004, 07:53 AM

Noone is offering me a contract. I'm 31. over the last 7 years I've averaged 110 RBIs, 30 HR, 90 R, 44 Doubles.

On the other hand, I've only hit around .265 and probably averaged 125 Ks.

As a FA, I lowered my demands to 1 mil for 2 years. NO OFFERS. I contact EVERY team. Each one, even the lastplace clubs, says they are not interested in my services. This after 10 days of FA.

LOL, I guess Baltimores 1B left them. Out of nowhere they came in with a 3 yar 3.3 million offer.

OK, a bunch of teams came in with offers in the 3+ million range. Cool, I'll sign with NY(A) to be a DH.

NY sent me to AAA! Then they released me! I'm 31, I have at least 4 good years left! I've saved $$$. I'm going to be the only unsigned player with WONDERBOY!!!

On may 11 Milwaukee wanted to sign me. NY(A) was in 1st, I think Milwaukee is already mathmatically eliminated.

Wig · 01-02-2004, 08:27 AM

And lo and behold, I just bought Wonderboy.

Wig · 01-02-2004, 08:47 AM

I had an average production year for me, but with improved avg.

100 RBI, 90 R, 45 Doubles. I hit .285, .336OBP. I was a little short on HR w/ 24, but all of this was in 137 games.

LOL, I'm a FA again and now teams are ofering over 5 million a year. Gotta love WONDERBOY!.

Looks like Oak needs a 1B. I think, with a good year from me, we can do some damage.
