Dayton Moore is continuing to impress. He's actually managing to live up to the considerable hype. Heard him on the radio today preaching about how they still need more pitching. For the first time in forever, I can't wait for baseball season!

Can't really look at it that way. The Royals had him under their control for 2 years.

It's $12 million for the next 2 seasons, his arb seasons. That's about market value.

It's another $26 millon for his first 2 FA seasons. Below market if he pitches to his potential, right at market if he pitches like last season.

It's a good deal, one that had to be made. However, as Angel proved, they're not worth anything until they earn it.

wohoooo

Damn, I'm good.
