So a while ago I tried a little game in which I projected how much Wandy and Geary would make in arbitration. I think I had Geary at $2.1 million and Wandy at $900,000.
Today the Astros avoided arbitration with one-year deals with both. Geary signed for $1.7 million. Wandy signed for $2.6 million. Nothing like a $2.2 million raise for a 9-7 season. He gets a $50,000 bonus if he throws 180 innings.
That's everybody under contract, folks! How's it feel?
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
