1 year, 12 mill.
I would 'assume' the one year deal means the team believes they will resign Albert too.
However, I now am very worried about what their plans are at SS next year then.
I kinda figured it would be Puma or a shortstop....not both.

Didn't they save 4 mil on the new deal for Carpenter? If so, that savings and his raise = wash. I don't know what The Riot made this year, but if they can keep Furcal for close to that money and let The Riot walk it would be a beautiful thing.
BTW....they actually negotiated a new deal during the season? Without distracting the player? Or the team? Can't be so.

Agreed, but if signing Puma means Furcal walks and Tiot starts.....FAIL.
As strange as it seems, if I had to chose one or the other........bye bye Puma.

I don't think Theriot is the backup plan at SS. I'm having my doubts about Furcal being a good plan A too, but he might be the lesser of two evils given the weak SS market this year.
