The option means that the Rays have control of him for two years, while only bearing the risk of paying for one year. The contract makes sense when that is taken into account. It will be a steal of a two-year deal for the Rays if he returns to health.

As a Rays fan, I was pleased to hear about this signing this morning. However, this just seems a tad high for this guy. Hope he works out.

The greater baseball public is kind of over the whole Roids issue. It was a convenient excuse to hate Bonds…a guy many non Giants fans hated anyway. Is there one *known* roid user since Bonds that’s gotten any excess attention? I strongly doubt we’re going to see many Ryan Braun inspired protests this season. Few fans actually care.

While we’re on the subject, Will Carroll raises a good point. http://willcarroll.tumblr.com/post/15722338346/the-inside-value

Why don’t you….and the many others who share your opinions on this work your way into the BBWAA? Its an issue you clearly hold dearly, why not try to affect change from within? I
