I don't really love Cruz, but this is a good low risk signing by the O's. He'll slot in nicely at the DH spot for them and represents a solid upgrade over what they had before.

Doubtful, he'll be an injury prone, 33 YO DH, who's a .260 hitter with no speed to speak of anymore. I can't see anything but a 2 year deal in his future unless he blows up this season, and then the Yanks will sign him to a 5 year deal for 120 million to replace Carlos Beltran."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Wow, he turned down a guaranteed $14.1m from the Rangers. Time to fire the agent!
I hope I'm wrong on this. I hope the players who were hung out to dry fire their agents, if only to send a message to the other agents and similar bottom dwellers.
What will really be interesting is how many teams offer the guaranteed money next off-season and how many players take it.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
