A 32 year old SS who hit .268 with nine home runs signing for 3 years/$40 million seems like a typical Yankee signing.

Player A is Hardy.
Player B is Jeter.

So yeah, probably.

Jeter already made his millions - 265 of them to be specific.

As far as the signing goes - if it doesn't get done the owner is too cheap.  When it does get done - why did they
overpay for a guy with those numbers? 

Can't win.

I'm happy he'll be back.

You wanna talk Angels contracts?

Sometimes a player's worth can't be measured in cold, hard numbers.

Pretty crazy that they both finished 96-66.

I was aware. How else did you want me, as a relatively unbiased observer, to distinguish, in a defensible way, between the two with similar regular-season records other than their postseason success?

Sure, since no one knows them better than me:


   AB   R   H   2B   3B   HR   RBI   SB   CS   BB   SO   AVG   OBP   SLG   OPS   WAR
A 529   56   142   28   0   9   52   0   0   29   104   .268   .309   .372   .682   3.4
C  589   77   164   30   4   7   68   16   9   36   62   .278   .321   .379   .700   3.9


Player C is a 30 year old shortstop in year 3 of a 5 year, $40m deal.

Who would you rather have - 30 year old Erick Aybar at $8.5m per season for 2 more seasons or 32 year old JJ Hardy at $13.3m per year for at least 3 more seasons?

I believe O's beat the Washington team 3 out of 4 this season.

Aybar's the guy who used to walk about the minor league clubhouse with his schlong in a hot dog roll, and then have his teammate put mustard on it and pretend to eat it, isn't he?  I always thought that was a funny story.

Matusz for Ubaldo.  And no Ibanez!

Still not sure why they need all three of  (Parades, Johnson, Flaherty). Leave one of those guys off (Parades, imo) and put Berry on the roster for late inning PR duties.

Smart move.  Anaheim was abused by their lefties (Moustakas and Hosmer) in the late innings.
