he's done ok for a 22nd rounder.

Neither. The Mets overpaid for Bay, but Bay would be a fool to not take the $5 million more if he could get it.
I have confidence that the Red Sox know what they are doing more than the Mets.
The only thing that Bay could be called dumb for is if he cared about his stats....he left a park where the LF wall is 280' to go to a pitcher's park.
The rest of the universe knows the Red Sox (and 25 other teams) are run better than the Mets. M-E-S-S, Mess, Mess Mess.
Yep! Montreal, New York, San Diego, Pirates. He got his first MLB AB with the Padres.quote:Originally posted by piaa_ump:quote:Originally posted by Jimmy03:quote:Originally posted by RJM:When Bay was in the minors he was traded from Montreal to New York to Pittsburgh.quote:Originally posted by Jimmy03:quote:Originally posted by piaa_ump:
I loved jbay when he was a Pirate.........there must be some perverse pleasure in making the organization that drafted you and traded you away pay you the big bucks....
that or he has some lingering affection/loyalty to his original organization....
either way best of luck to him...........
PIAA: Bay was drafted by the Expos. How does this all fit together?
Thank you for confirming my post correcting that Bay was not drafted by the Mets but by the Expos.
I think we are missing San Diego in this....Pirates acquired Bay from SD....(that I am sure of) progression

I never could figure that out. I had the distinct pleasure of working some of his games in 99 and 2000. You could see "major league" when he came up to bat.
He just "looked" like a ball player. He knew how to work a pitcher, never saw him sweat down 0-2 and then when he swung, wow!
One of the nicest kids in the WCC, too. No mouth, no attitude. He enjoyed the heck out of playing the game and let his performance do all the talking.
Must be nice to be dumb and make $66M in just 4 yrs.

Yes. Bay & Oliver Perez were traded to the Pirates by SD for Brian Giles.
