Nice stats.  I agree that Scutaro looks pretty good.  I'm pretty pleased
with this acquistion, and think he's gonna do fine.

Im not at all. One peak season by a 34 year old journeyman isn't
impressive at all, its exactly what it is...one lucky season by an old
Venezuelan who's been a back-up on the Oakland A's during his entire

minor league days either, they were mediocre at BEST minor league
numbers during his career.

Its 1 year too long for my liking, and $2-3 million too much. And I
wish he was a Type B instead of a Type A...but you can't have
everything. <g>
