Hard to believe -- especially for a guy who can't stay on the field. And especially in this market.
It really shows you how valuable DeRosa was at his pricetag. He was making $5.5M and he's durable. And versitile.
I just hope he can find a way to not get hurt.

Yeah I hate this. I read 3/24 yesterday, and then seeing Burrell get 2/16, you'd think Bradley's getting closer to that than 3/30. I would've done 2/20, giving this guy 3 years at 10 million per seems a bit ridiculous when he's never been on the field close to a full season, especially when he's not a designated hitter. Well he better have a 1.000 OPS in the games he plays or this won't be worth it. This isn't an exaggeration, history shows and is probably a better predictor with this guy than anybody else in the game that he'll miss a full year's worth of that contract. How about you give a guy like this 7 or 8 mil per guaranteed, and load that bitch with incentives. You play 140 games, put up a certain amount of numbers, we'll double that contract. The games he plays, he plays like a $20 million player, but he doesn't play near enough of them to be getting 10 mil per guaranteed over 3 seasons.
