PrintAlways nice to see a division rival waaay overpay for a player.
300 character fact of the day:
It is not true that the early Chinese used gunpowder only for fireworks. They had forms of guns (invented in 1288), bombs, grenades, rockets, land mines, and other arms.

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'...
Yuniesky Betancourt, career road stats: .292/.310/.427
Well, on the other hand
That's a pretty ridiculous contract -- but these days, aren't they all?
I saw this rumored on Rotoworld
Not Teixeira?
Boras Factor
The only way Teix isn't getting a $150 million dollar contract is if he's dead. If he's just paralyzed, Boras will convince someone that embryonic stem cells will heal him (just like Christopher Reeves in South Park).
Nah, we just need to keep him away from Boras.
its almost that bad

Yeah, I know Homerquest helps him a bit. He's not A-Rod but he's not Orlando Cabrera either.

It seems that this isn't a 5 year extension, but a
"Rangers signed shortstop Michael Young to a seven-year contract through 2013.
The Rangers said the contract supersedes Young's previous deal, which would have seen him earn $9 million over the next two years. When the deal was leaked Thursday, it was understood that Young would earn $80 million over the following five seasons. We believe it's a bad signing, but the Rangers are looking to make Young the face of the team and if they didn't give him this kind of money, someone else would have when he became a free agent after 2008. Young's consistency and durability are plenty valuable right now, but there's a good chance that he'll spend at least the last two years of the deal as a mediocre left fielder."
