Is 2/10 a fair guess?

that'd be my hope, but i fear/feel/expect it's going to be an overpay since he signed so quick

Obviously was just working on about 700K last year, but I think the Cub deal was what, 3/15? He was suspended in 2012. I can't imagine he gets up near 6.5-7.

i wonder how getting a paid a few people per year affects the Phillies' overall AAV w/r/t to the luxury tax? also, didn't we abolish slavery?

2 years ain't so bad. Feeling like this is going to be 2/16-20.

As a freshman at Georgia Tech, Marlon Byrd kicked a door while goofing around and sustained a severe leg injury. In so doing, he caused muscle damage, a circulation problem, and eventually an infection to the point that doctors wanted to amputate the leg. He refused to go along with that, went through three operations and ended up weighing over 300 pounds.
