  4 years, $52 Million for a 36 year-old catcher with a career .277 average?

  So much for the “new-thinking” Yankee brass.

  FWIW, Buster Olney (i think; maybe it was Steve Phillips) was asked his opinion on where Pay-Rod would land, and he said (nearly verbatim): The West Coast, likely the Angels (but maybe Dodgers or Giants), and at likely LESS [my emphasis] than the $25M per he made with the Yankees, and for probably 8 years – definitely not the 10 years he wants.

  WOW. If true, a MAJOR mis-calculation for Boras-Rod.

  Tho, he did go on to give himself an out, saying that he had faith that Boras would get the top-dollar available/possible for Pay-Rod.

  Me love the Hot Stove!

  He also thought that Torii Hunter was headed to Chicago (AL), the Dodgers, or perhaps Texas (IIRC). No where were the Nats mentioned.
