Latest On Aaron Small and Shawn Chacon
Aaron Small and the Yankees have agreed to a $1.2 million dollar deal for the 2006 campaign. Included in his contract are potential bonuses that add up to $80 thousand.
Up next: Shawn Chacon, who asked for $4.5 million, while the Yankees offered $3.1 million. Because the two sides are so far apart, I expect this one to go to arbitration, with Chacon winning.
The cases of Aaron Small and Shawn Chacon makes me fantasize about how great it would be if we could re-distribute players' salaries based on their performance.
For example, for the 2004 season, I would take all of Jason Giambi's salary and split it, giving half to Matsui and half to Sheffield.
For the 2005 season, I would take 10 million away from both Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina and give these amounts to Aaron Small and Shawn Chacon.
Oh, and also for the 2004 and 2005 season, I would take away a total of 20 million from Bernie Williams and split this three ways between Matsui, Sheffield, and Bubba Crosby. Matsui and Sheffield because they earned it. And Crosby because I feel sorry for the guy. He hustles and plays the game the right way, but has never really had an opportunity to show his talents on an everyday basis.
If only fantasies like this one came true.
