Message: [QUOTE="STEVEHOLT, post: 3212494, member: 522"] 9 years is a long term and the back end of the deal won't be pretty. However he likely more than pays for the contract in performance in just the first five years. I'm not a Yankee fan but this is a good signing for a team like the Yankees who can afford it. You will hear alot of crap about the nine years but really, it doesn't matter. It's all about how much value you can provide... not only is he a stud pitcher, you weaken Houston and any other possible suitor by not allowing him to go to them. [/QUOTE]
