Based on the Overbay contract, $24MM over 4 years (buying out the last two arbitration). And based on the terms, that would mean about $7MM/year on the open market. Its almost a perfect match - Youk is two years younger, has about two years less service time, and they both hit for the same average, OBP, with Overbay having a bit more power.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing that Theo will look to get one, maybe two more years out of him and then trade him before the sox have to a) start paying him more than $4MM and b) locking him up for 4 years. With the sox resources, I'd rather pay double or triple $6-7MM and get a HUGE bat in return. Teixeira would be nice in about 2 years, although I'm sure NY will go after him hard.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1168784572304294872007-01-14T09:22:00.000-05:002007-01-14T09:22:00.000-05:00I'm not sure if A-Rod know the difference between ...I'm not sure if A-Rod know the difference between the two sports....except maybe for the color of the ball.....go Pats!Peter Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625257724065648318noreply@blogger.com
