I am in absolute disbelief that a guy in this day and age, with baseball's economy being what it is, can hit .323 with 33 home runs and 116 RBIs and wind up signing a new contract worth less than half a million dollars. But that's exactly the kind of deal that Miguel Cabrera of the Florida Marlins agreed to yesterday -- 1-year, $472,000 as long as he remains in the majors.

What do you guys think about this?

I think "best bargain in baseball" is probably the understatement of the millennium.

Billy Beane just got a hard on.

David Wright just got a raise to $374,000 for this year...lol. Both these excellent players know they'll be cashing in whenever they're arbitration eligible.

Cabrera just may not be cashing in in Florida.

Maybe Cabrera is willing to take less money for the team...

I think for 10-15 million dollars a year, he would consider "slumming" it some where else liek New York...
