Absurdly. That contract is positively insane, especially considering that he's not that good a defensive SS (which is why the front office wants to move him over to 3rd.)
He did win a Palmeiro-esque Gold Glove this year, so maybe he thinks he really IS Ozzie or Visquel-like.
Theriot's just as good. And significantly cheaper.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Young won the GG this past season.They just think their top prospect Elvis Andrus is ready, and he's a SS.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
