Yu Darvish Sweepstakes

[lakeman74]

I couldn't believe the Rangers snuck in and won the auction tonight for Darvish. Yankee fans must be smacking themselves about now. It is crazy money though. Will make the infamous A-rod deal look like chump change when it is all said and done. Rangers need to scoop up Fielder now and they might get back to the Series.

Too much money for a player - just to talk with him. They should have kept CJ. These Japanese players are hit or miss.

51.7 million to negotiate with him? Got Dayum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arn Tellum is a freaking genius agent. Now they say it will take a 15 million/per year contract to sign him.

I want Arn Tellum to adopt me.

Good for the Rangers. They needed this.

6 years 60 million. Not as much as the projections thought. Now they have enough to sign Fielder!
