There seems to be very few really long contracts in this year's crop of free agents.

If I were in charge, I would seriously look at Kuroda if he would sign a two-year deal. LaRoche at 3 years/33 million is also intriguing, but I would think that Washington might want to keep him as he is a good fit there IMHO. I kind of ike Pagan too, but I believe the price is a bit high on him. And Lohse has always been a favorite of mine and the price is just about right IMO. That's just my two cents.

these are just made up numbers. Larouche is guranteed 13.5 million if he takes the nationals offer for this year.. I highly doubt he takes a 3 year deal paying him 11 million a year. just one persons unedcuated guess of where players will end up and how much they will make.

I could see Wash overpaying for another player - but I don't think it would be a good move. Bourn's game is a young man's, and he's at the end of his prime years.
I like that deal with Saunders.
I don't see Atl paying 10 mil a year for Victorino - I think his contract is going to be 1 yr unless he takes a lower salary.
I don't see anyone putting in that much for Jackson.

I really hope the O's get aggressive and go after Youk.

In most cases, the average annual salaries look outrageously high. Someone needs to remind the NY Post that not everyone pays the undeservedly inflated salaries that the Yankees do.

You have to understand that 3/$33 is exponentially better than 1/$13.5.

Having said that, this whole NY Post prediction thing is a steaming load of crap. Seriously awful.
