Yankees sign Mark Texieira for eight years, $180MM.
Analysis: Law, Cameron, Szymborski, Brinson.
CHONE projection: 645 PA, .286/.381/.521, 32HR, 31 RAA/150; worth $20.7MM in 2009 if "good" fielding 1B.
What's funny about this is that although it set off a storm of people declaring the Yankees' spending the end of the world and calling for a salary cap, it's probably the best contract of the big three; no opt-out, and not giving five years to a guy who averages 23 starts per season. I really do hope they sign Juan Cruz, just to make it as clear as possible that this compensation "system" needs to eithher be fixed or done away with completely.
How would you rate the Yankees' signing of Mark Teixeira?
