According to the official site, Doug made an initial offer to the other CC today. From the reports of interest in Craig this offseason, a deal in the $2 mil range wouldn't be surprising.
Craig has said in the past that if he gets 200 at-bats, something went bad somewhere else. To the contrary, Counsell is the definition of "veteran presence" that most teams say they look for. As with most bench players, Counsell's real value lay in his patient plate approach and his solid defense at three positions.
Offensively, I recall many times last year I watched Craig at the dish and wondered why no one had told him to lower his hands before Dale did.
