10 year deals for guys approaching 30 usually freak you on the back end. No matter how much you spend youre locked into putting those guys out on the field. The back end of the Arod and Teixeira contracts were uggggly. We were lucky CC learned how to pitch without velocity
That's valid.
Again, I'm not really in favor of just random spending just for the sake of spending. But when you have major needs, like a SS or a power-hitting lefty on the market, it's hard to justify not spending some of that mountain of cash you're sitting on.
