Is it just me or is a $180 million contract over eight years (or $190M depending on who’s reporting) just seem crazy for more than one reason?  I guess the whole similar waste of money on A-Rod has went over these folks heads (remember that Rangers-Yankees deal that still makes no sense to me).  Sure, I can’t really blame the likes of A-Rod or Teixeira for going for it if the teams are willing to throw the money around, but their sports pimp needs to go.  I think it might be good if A-Rod got in touch with Teixeira and told him that the pimp isn’t necessary to land a good contract, even if it’s not an 8 year deal.
