You can't blame a guy with his injury record for locking up a guaranteed $153 million over 7 years. How'd the Sox reward Arroyo for taking a home town discount? They traded him.

I am kind of surprised at the Yankees doing it, though. Traditionally, that's a Mets' move--long term big money contract to a guy that either gets hurt or won't play hurt. See Mo Vaughn and Beltran.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
