    I don't think Marcus is a free agent though is he? So it's not a matter of affording him.

    Arbitration is what I think/hope he was talking about.

    You'll have to educate me. Can they offer arbitration to a guy who isn't even a free agent? I hadn't heard that Marcus Giles was. The Padres would have had to made a Linebrink for Giles trade with Atlanta, so that tells me he's not a free agent.

    If a player is drafted and is offered a contract by his drafting team (or any team he is traded to) each year, he may not become a free agent until he has been on a major league roster or disabled list for at least six years. Otherwise, any player without a contract may become a free agent and sign with any team.

    A player is eligible for salary arbitration if he:

    1. is ineligible for free agency
    2. is without a contract
    3. cannot agree with his current team on a new contract
    4. has been on a major league roster or disabled list for at least three years

    In this process, the player and the team both submit a salary offer for a new contract; the arbitrator chooses one number or the other, whichever is thought to be most "fair" given comparable wages among players with similar ability and service time. Players thus rely on arbitration and free agency to increase their salaries.

    Players eligible for neither free agency nor salary arbitration are very seldom offered contracts for much more than the league minimum salary, as the player has no recourse to try to obtain a better salary elsewhere. For this reason, in the first three major league years of their careers, players accept comparatively low salaries even when their performance is stellar. This is an accepted practice; talented, young players are usually content to "pay their dues" in this way and earn a chance to negotiate for more in their fourth year. Occasionally, a team may wish to sign a player in their second or third year to a long-term contract, for which negotiation can take place for a much higher salary.

    Don't get your hopes up, but we may just be able to sign Ray Durham. Who would've thought the Padres would ever be in the runnings for players of such calibur?

    Thank you John Moores

    Moores essentially handed over the reigns to Sandy Alderson so he could continue on his philanthropic ways......If you want to continue to blame someone and point fingers....at least point them at the person who is truly pulling the strings these days....Moores may have the last word as owner, should he choose to use it, but Sandy is in charge, make no more mistakes about that....

    Stop taking everything so personal; it's not my fault I find our sitation to be funny, just as it's not my fault that you seem to find our situation as such that you must protect it even from humorous insults.

    You can scratch Durham off the list, he signed a new deal with the Giants. As I said before, I think Loretta is going to be the 2nd baseman for the Padres. I think the FO knows he's the better of the two between him and Graffanino.

    They're wrong, then.
