I really liked having Rodriguez as a backup catcher for the next 6 years but I can pass up on that return for a backup...hope I don't eat those words :)

We get Rodriguez, great defensive catcher combined with a swing that will destroy the ball at Camden. Sakurai is the type of player that can be found quick and Wood might have been solid at best.

I have a question. Why is Rodriguez at 6 years for 3M? I certainly recall the Astro's paying 3.5M for 7 years to beat out Baltimore's Original bid. How did the .5M drop off?

It was just 3 million for 7 years. We bid 3 million for 6.

Oh, well then never mind.
