My thoughts on the deal:

It's not bad enough to veto. In fact it's not that bad at all. Maybe a little over pay, but nothing outrageous. If people think a low 80's contact is really a .190's hitter, then I'll gladly take your 80 contact, 90 power bats that barely have enough PAs to be a full season for what Wetmore is supposedly to go for. Players can sometimes take awhile to get going and it just looks real bad for Wetmore because he has 2 partial seasons instead of 1 full season right now. Anyone with a player like Wetmore would be trying the same. He has good vitals and it's possible he can hold up at 3B. Talent in a few of the recent draft classes has seemed to drop off the table after the first round, so it's quite possible that after compensation, NYY's 2nd doesn't even net that great of a prospect.
