When the Giants Come to Town, It's Bye-Bye Baby

Million Dollar Hennessey
Brad Hennessey avoided arbitration with a $1.6 million contract. Up next: Chulk (asking for $975K) and Correia ($1.3 M). Should they get it? Discuss.

Chulks a loser.

Corriea is a steal.

I think you meant Chulk's a loser and Correia would be stealing.

I don't mind Hennessey getting a pay raise but I still like Correia and Chulk -- assuming that Chulk comes back 100% healthy and over his circulation problems -- better coming out of the bullpen next year.

Both Chulk and Coerria have better K% rates than Hennessey and that's something I like in a reliever, being able to come in and get the strikeout.

Correia in particular, does about the same thing that Hennessey does but with more strikeouts. They both have similar GB%'s. I'd almost rather see Chulk or Correia in the setup role next year, but Hennessey will probably start the year in that role.

Chulk fails to impress me. I think Correia *could* be the best bargain of the off-season for us. I foresee him being an outstanding #5 starter for us, and maybe a #4. So I think his asking price is very reasonable.
