Don't get me wrong...conservatively they'll get a monster for 3-4 years but a guy that size and with that type of makeup can't be expected to stay healthy into his 30's. They're going to get old pretty fast in 5 years and be tied into a hell of a lot of money to be so.

It's not even that. You don't pay 200+ million for a DH. That kind of dough you pay to a guy who's going to provide offense and defense. A Barry Bonds, and Alex Rodriguez, a Ken Griffy, Jr. (in prime). Detroit is going to be begging people to take this guy in about 5 years.

Make no mistake, I thought the Pujols contract was even worse than this one.
