6 years, 52 million?!?

If the reports are true, Daisuke Matsuzaka has signed for 6 years, 52 million dollars. An absolutely, without question awful deal for him, and a fantastic one for Boston. Matsuzaka is making less than Gil Meche monetarily, with an extra year added. Horrible, horrible deal for him. If he was going to sign for so little money, there's no way he should have signed for 6 years. He could have gotten out after 4 or 5 and signed a huge deal. Now it's just an extra year of making crap money, and he'll be another year older and another year removed from the prime of his career.

Not to mention that this is a bad deal for him in the present market. It's probably going to be even worse in 4 or 5 years.

I know he didn't have much to work with due to the limitations of the system, but Boras got owned here. Badly.

This posting system needs to be fixed or done away with immediately.
