    That can and will be said for any FA signing long term deals into their 30's but remember it's the AL, the DH is always there. As for the other holes look at their depth chart, plus it's a little early to point those out especially when there seems to be a boatload of cash out there. They are also rumored to have interest in HanRam. Russ also helps that pitching staff immensely with his run saving prowess.

    I give them credit. They went out and got who they thought they absolutely needed, and paid what they had to to get him. Good for them. Obviously, they have the money...and everybody breaks down sooner or later. Maybe he'll get them to the playoffs or even further, we don't know. Maybe he won't. We paid a pitcher almost a quarter of a billion dollars, and talk about diminished returns...unless awards count.
    So they gave him an extra two million and another year than expected. Big deal. How many players are still cooking at the end of their superstar contracts-teams know that. He was the best out there, and they got him.
    I'd rather be dealing with that than two catchers who don't hit their weight.
    Fucking hosers...

    No argument for either points. We didn't land him, so my sour grapes nature causes me to bash him and his contract.

    Yeah I guess I am disappointed we didn't land him either but there is always a trade we could do to get a catcher. Alex Avila anyone?

    I think the Cards-Braves deal was pretty fair. Heyward is past the "potential" stage and should be in his prime. I actually like the deal more for the Braves.

    Isn't Rusell Canadian? Isn't he the biggest named Canadian in MLB? Isn't this a great marketing opportunity for player and team?

    Lester and Miller aren't canadian like Martin is. They aren't stupid enough to go to Canada, i think.

    I think you can be paid in US funds. Don't hold me to that but I think I've heard of a player doing that before.

    My comment had nothing to do with pay, it has to do with it being Canada.
