IMO he probably gets more hitting the open market next year, he's our work horse... If the Giants had any resemblance of an offense he and lincecum both would be 20 game winners... Our pitching has carried us so he and lincecum both deserve to get paid, that's one stress off my head

Also read that the Dodgers were going to target him as there #1 priority next year... Not anymore

I've read that Votto is nearing an extension as well. Gotta think it's because of the Dodgers new found wealth.

why are you worried about such a small amount

You make more than that a day as a treyarch consultant and investor.

Ridiculous...just saw the highlight and he went right at Tulo when Tulo said something (must be bad blood from their days in Denver). Jimenez also said there was no way in Hell he'd apologize...Love It!!!

Looks like we won't have a chance to light him up at the Jake this weekend as we start in Cleveland.

I'm not sure what happened to Jimenez. He was on pace for nearly 30 wins after the first half of the 2010 season, then he was mediocre the second half of that season and sucked in 2011.

Man the Marlins uniforms are so ugly. That stadium ain't the prettiest of parks either. And of course the crowd is cheering on the Yankees.

I really don't understand the Reds giving Votto that big a contract. For one thing they already had him under contract for 2 more seasons at reasonable salaries of $9.5 million and $17 million so there was no need to get this deal done. Usually when a player has multiple years left on their current deal they give the team a discount in exchange for long-term security, but that certainly wasn't the case here. Votto will be 30 when this extension kicks in and the deal goes through the 2023 season, so it's unlikely he'll stay effective over the length of the deal, and they gave Votto a full no-trade clause. The Reds aren't a big market team so they are taking a huge risk devoting that much money to 1 player.

Agree, at least sit on it for one more season! I guess they figure if he did even better, they'd be on the hook for even more

No probs guys, Joey will bust his ass throughout. He has a hockey mentality . Also watchout for Brett Lawrie (another Canadian) this year. He's a power forward playing 3B and will no doubt offend some with his MAJOR hockey mentality...GO JAYS!!! GO BRETT!!! & GO JOEY!!!
