Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 3057977, member: 1646"] I can't remember one of these big long contracts (that's what she said!) working out over the long haul. Manny and Bryce definitely seem like special situations though due to the very young age that they are hitting free agency. I think San Diego go the better deal with Manny, although Philly may be looking at the last 3 years or so of Bryce as a way of annuitizing his salary (less per year). I can also see Bryce becoming a solid, but not spectacular, player for about 7 of those 13 years (including a few clunkers towards the end). He's had injuries, seems to let emotions get to him (Philly can be unforgiving), and he's played a lot of ball (including a bunch behind the plate) despite his young age. Could be fun to watch him in Philly for a few years though. [/QUOTE]
