It's not like he's Joe Mauer, who is younger and plays a harder position. Or Cliff Lee, who's on a 3 year deal or A-Rod who gets a Yankee bonus (and plays 3b rather than 1b). Or Howard...who's deal is mother****ing stupid.

Is it a little bit low? Yeah, it's lower than I'd have likely gone. But to call it 'insulting' ignores the reality of the player's age and position.
A P will likely be the All time Home run leader-whatever team signs him will get there money back and plenty more.
