Great. Joel Sherman and the anonymous source. Bulletproof.

Luck. Some pitchers have streaks in which line drives end up in gloves, and ground balls can't find holes. Eventually, the luck will normalize. Think of Shawn Chacon in 2005. He had an unusually low BABIP of .258, which was no doubt helping his ERA. Eventually, his BABIP returned to normal, and he began to pitch like Shawn Chacon.

His BABIP is .246, which is well below league average. I think a month ago it was .212, when his ERA was 1.77.

Thanks. I didn't know that Rodriguez salary was due to get bumped over the next three years anyway. I don't see any team coming even remotely close to matching the Yankees offer.
-
Texas is on the hook for about $9.5 million annually. That would give the Yankees an additional $28.5 they could put toward Rodriguez. I think the Yankees would be paying a little bit more than $39 million, (probably closer to $50) but it's still a huge bargain. (For those three years, at least.)
-
Rodriguez can get a bump to $32 million in 2008 and 2009. I guess the deal would be: 2007 - $27 million 2008 - $32 million 2009 - $32 million 2010 - (whatever the extension the Yankees agree on) He's going back to New York. The only team that's going to give him $32 million annually.
-
Forgive me, but does Texas owe that money regardless, or just under the terms of the current contract? I could see where Texas could take issue with Rodriguez signing an extension. They agreed to pay the money in the 10 year deal, but not the six year deal he would sign. On the other hand, the Yankees could agree with Rodriguez to pick up the options, and then extend him after that. (Which is what I think you're talking about.)
-
Is Texas paying a lump sum? I was under the impression that it was yearly.
-
Wait. If Alex Rodriguez signs an extension with the Yankees, say a five year deal, wouldn't that technically be a new contract, which would free Texas from any salary obligation? I don't know the exact terms of the contract, but I assume it was for only this current deal.(the 10 year $250 million) The Yankees couldn't just use Texas' money to give A-Rod a new contract. A contract extension is still a new contract.

Buchholtz - 1.0 IP 1 H 1 ER 2 K's 1 HR Looked pretty good. Good curve, good change, good command on the fastball. Fastball looked a little flat on the pitch to Votto.
