7yrs is actually not that bad for him given what was speculated.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Dec 9 '10, 06:09

the 8yr deals and such....if you get 6 yrs quality out of him, and the 7th is a dog...you suck it up and deal; same with Lee and year 6 in his contract...

when you add in the 2 dog years on the back end...you start getting sketchy

  - He's a very good player and is one of the best moves Boston had to make, but I don't think he's $50 million better than Ichiro. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 06:26 1

  - i'm not sure what they're talking about...Adrian's last 2 WARs - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:22 9
    - Votto's 4.5 and 6.9......again, ahead of carl's. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:25

      - I think Fangraphs uses UZR (which is sketchy) whereas B-R uses the other defensive metric. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:25 5

        Jolly good show sir. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:37 3
        
        I really like UZR, and not because it favors the guy we just signed. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 06:40 2
        
        I don't know the differences ... I'd likely support the one that assigns more runs - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:44 1
        
        read MLs link above comparing UZR and TZ. its interesting. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 06:51
- You're the offseason winners at this point getting Adrian and him - Will Hunting Dec 9, 06:12
