i was convinced "lyle overpaid" was done when he got released by the pirates in august 2011...the fact that he's a functioning part of the yankees right now has me

 

[Da King]

are the Yankees going to try and get out of his contract also?

If I have a son I already know what sport he's playing off the jump.

If your son is good at baseball or futbol

One of the lone exceptions, but you never know how good he will be near the end of that deal. Same thing with guys like Prince Fielder, CC, Pujols (he already looks done), etc...

No one wants to end up getting little value like the Mutts did when they gave Johan that contract.

He'll be 33 at the end of it and he's actually outperformed his deal. If he woulda done his contract today and not five years ago, he woulda commanded an extra $100 million.

I get what you're saying though.

True, hes also a rarity in that he got to the majors at 19, and produced right away. Players like him only come along so often. You are right he has outperformed the deal. Considering the drinking/domestic/family issues hes had.....most other players would have flatlined career-wise. Hes actually used it as fuel to get better.
