Wrigley isn’t an awful name, it’s weird to be sure, but at least the dad wasn’t a White Sox or Astros fan.

Tek goes deep

Coco bunts for a hit. Ellsbury continues to fail in the leadoff spot. He was hitting well at the bottom of the order. Tito should put him back there.

Most incentives

are put into older players’ contracts. Like Schilling and the weight clauses. Young players are playing for their future big contracts and to stay in the majors, so they hardly need incentives.

by 0157H7 on Aug 18, 2008 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Doubtful

They usually only give stuff like that to performance incentivized players. Like a Schilling, or Colon. Someone who’s trying to make a comeback, usually. Not typically a young player like Lester.
