This is all getting out of control. Is he the best free agent available this offseason? yes. Is he this year's Arod? Only in the sense that he is the best compared to the other free agents. But 10 years for a guy that hit .267 38 home runs, and 104 RBI? I don't think so. Sure he dazzled everyone in the postseason and is a spectacular defender and is probably coming into his prime. But he isn't a shortstop, hasn't put up NEARLY the numbers AROD did before his contract, and he played for the Royals - no pressure there.
I thought ARod's contract was ridiculous, but if this guy gets anything more that 15million per year than this league is really starting to really, no seriously, disappoing me.
