Dumbest contract of this offseason

I can honestly say my jaw dropped when I read your post. There's no question Scott Boras is some sort of magician. Unbelieveable.

Rey? Yeah, that's a lot.

I read the post's title and not knowing much about baseball and who's worth what, my initial thought was "I bet Scott Boras is his agent."

Magglio...

That's bad, but not even close to the fact that Richie Sexson got signed at all.

How does that relate? Sexson at least worked out for the team, had a physical, etc, etc. Magglio from everything I've read has not had a workout for anyone, and the medical reports on his knee has been sketchy. Of course not everything will be picked up by the media, so maybe he did a private workout for the Tigers, but giving him that much money for that many years is insane.

Remember, he has a degenerative osteoporosis-like knee condition. There are like no comparables to that. Sexson separated his shoulder, which of course could happen again, but others have come back successfully from it, like Jeter.

Yeah but Sexson sucked even before he hurt his shoulder. Sean Casey is so much better. And of course Big Pappi is the best of all.

I retract my previous statement about Sexson sucking. He just sucks in my fantasy baseball league. Guy strikes out a lot but kinda makes up for it with a decent OBP. He's still worse than Sean Casey. But then again, Sean Casey is nasty.
