It seems that once a player gets a big contract like we gave Soriano, he automatically turns into a bust.

They don't all do that; it just seems that way. D Lee and Aramis have continued to play well after signing big deals.
We've definitely had problems in the free agent market, though. That's why I always look to Ted Lilly...great signing.
Perhaps routinely signing guys in their 30's (ie, their declining years) to multi-year deals isn't an ideal strategy.
But that Ted Lilly...I miss him.

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
