I don't know, there's a huge upside and a huge downside to this approach. If he is all that he is claimed to be, he will be in his prime making what, 6 or 7 million dollars a year? Putting up, according to them, A-Rod type numbers? That's the steal of the century. If he doesn't pan out, which is unlikely IMO, then the Rays are have to buy this guy out for 44mil or pay him that much to ride the pine. I think the upside is a lot more likely to happen then the downside, so I honestly think it's a good move.
