Amaro is terrible.

Probably wait for the signing to happen before freaking out.

Physiologically, he can't feel his extremities

He is only 27 (Delmon Young).

me too. where's my fucking contract

I'm 26

I actually kind of like this.

The new market inefficiency could be signing talented crazy people and force feeding their daily dose of lithium.

failing to see how Delmon Young meets those standards

We committed $12MM to a mid-30's setup reliever who lost the feeling in his pitching fingers last year and the surgery to correct it cost him a rib. He could be fine, but I think he's a big wait-and-see.

i've tried to talk myself into believing this could be a good move.
unless it's a minor league contract, i can't see it being good.
huge, huge, attitude issues + health issues + plus being a proven defensive and baserunning liability + plus having no plate discipline. despite all the talent he has (had?) the deck is stacked against him being significantly above replacement, while his mlb salary will be well above replacement.

ruf and mayberry are much more likely to succeed. and castro and overbeck and fransden might all be even odds relative to young. all will be cheaper. all are less likely to embarrass the team.

Charlie will fix him!!!111

I blame the fucking jews.
