That's a huge thing to have a player actually stay. 2)Twins still want him, he still says he wants to be with the Twins so there's still a possibly we could re-sign him. 3) If you look at his second half last year, you'll see he started to lower his walk rate from then on.

Radke is going to get roughly $24 mill / 3 years. Someone will pay that, bank on it. It’s been shown time and time again in free agency that players get paid when they are coming off a good year.

Fri, 15 Oct 2004 13:01:18 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/?p=1982#comment-4840 I'm curious why you think he'll get (regardless of what he thinks he deserves) such a high salary for so many years. I'd predict more like 3 years, 18M, or 2 years 15M are the most he'll get. I’m curious why you think he’ll get (regardless of what he thinks he deserves) such a high salary for so many years.

He may be a good fit there. That's kinda scary to me. They're a few pitchers shy of being a good team for a long time. How ’bout Texas? He may be a good fit there. That’s kinda scary to me.
