Meh, more power to him. He did have the perfect year to set this up, free agent market wise and on the field production. Texas must have infinite money.

Choo probably felt he is as good or better than Ellsbury.

The contracts have been going up and up and you can thank the Yankees for that. They consistently overpay and drive the market up.
I have no problem with him for asking for the money in the first place, even though I think it's too much. My point was he got what he asked for and then reneged on it.

You mean all these posts are about Choo? I expected to hear the culmination of the Matt Kemp trade to the Reds.

He actually isnt. His take home will actually be more in Texas because of the difference is state income tax.

Yeah, my sources are telling me that the Dodgers want Corky Miller in return. They feel that the mustache brings positive energy, so it's pretty much a done deal.
