Me neither.
That .399 OBP is sparkling, and we could certainly use a leadoff guy/speedster.
That said, his age is a huge negative. And what is his position?
Can he really play 2nd base decently?
OTOH, he does a lot of the things DeRo did; it'd be nice to have one of MLB's two kick-ass utility guys. (BTW, DeRo ain't no spring chicken either.)
A 3-year deal though? No.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
