Let the negotiations begin.
Millwood wants at least a three-year deal. He made $7 million on his one-year deal this year and is looking for a raise. If the Indians sign him for $10 million per year, he would be their second $10 million-per-year player in history. Juan Gonzalez made $10 million in 2001.
I’d say Millwood is worth quite a bit more than Gonzalez ever was.
From today’s PD.
The Tribe’s attendance of 2,013,763 should help. Team officials feared that they wouldn’t top their projected preseason total of 1.95 million despite the team’s play. Then there’s ESPN’s $2.3 billion contract extension through 2013 to draw from. The deal reportedly will pay MLB $296 million per year.
What about all that MLB.com money? Wall Street, which keeps pitching MLB to offer it in an IPO, estimates each team’s stake at $100 million per team. These guys simply cannot claim poverty. There’s cash coming out of their ears.
Crain’s does a very good interview with the Cavs new coach, Mike Brown. He spends a lot of time talking about defense.
I don’t think it’s matter of “We do this and somebody else does that.” We have a system. Everybody has a responsibility, defending the basket or defending the ball. If the ball moves, all five guys move, not just one guy. Everybody’s on a string. We’re going to get repetition behind it all, so that it’s second nature to guys. The ball moves here, and all five guys move. It’s second nature. Guys are reacting to it instead of thinking about it and then doing it because you can’t be a step late in this league.
Odd that this appears in Crain’s Cleveland Business…why can’t the PD do an interview like this?
Apparently he got some rest in the bye week. But these numbers don’t look all that good.
Although Dilfer is eighth in the NFL with a 95.1 rating, he’s 20th in the league on third down with a 71.6 rating. He’s completed 14 of 26 attempts on third down for 53.8 percent. The Browns have also scored just one touchdown in six trips inside the red zone, settling instead for five field goals.
Depressingly familiar Browns stats, don’t you think?
Let the hype resume.
“LeBron has everything in place for him to take over the NBA,” said analyst and Hall of Famer Bill Walton. “He has the experience now. LeBron’s success will be determined on how good these other guys are.”
I like Bill Walton, and agree with him on this, but since when is he the go-to guy for this kind of stuff?
