LA Dodgers Extensions

[mjmezzetti]

I'd like to make the following extensions
CI Loney, James, $3.5m (2012)
P Harang, Aaron, $5.5m (2013)
Loney
2008=1199pts, 73rd best CI
2009=1237pts, 66th best CI
Harang
2008=1501pts, 48th best CI
2009=1740pts, 44th best CI

You can't extend Harang for less than what he is going to make in 2010 until his current contract expires

[mjmezzetti]

My understanding is I can, the total value of the contract has to be an increase, not annually.

[Dan Wood]

Mike this is the second time you have tried to extend Harang. Colby shot you down the first time. His annual salary cannot decrease until the contract expires at the end of this year.

[mjmezzetti]

Dan, I thought he wasn't extended because the extended total contract wasn't more than current total contract.  Unfortunately I didn't accurately remember why Colby shot me down, however, I appreciate your help and your condescending reply.

[mjmezzetti]

Disregard both of these extension requests.  I have to clear cap space prior to extending Loney.

[Dan Wood]

Wasn't meant to be condescending, on vacation and just waking up, was merely stating the facts

[mjmezzetti]

Handling all these request is time-consuming and, at times, aggravating.  It's unfortunate you have to deal with this on vacation.  Thanks.
