    Phillies Phils sign Utley to extension

    see here

    PHILADELPHIA -- Chase Utley exchanged marriage vows with his fiancée on Saturday afternoon in San Francisco.

    A day later, the All-Star second baseman made a similar long-term commitment to the Phillies, agreeing to a seven-year, $85 million contract that will keep him in Philadelphia through the 2013 season. Though Utley will make less annually up front and more toward the end, this deal averages a little more than $12 million a season.
    I hope he signed a prenup!

    Very much agreed, I absolutely LOVE Utley and yes, I do mean in terms of a man crush. Very nice move getting him locked up.
    "They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett

    Utley is going to be a premier second basemen for many many years. Good signing by Philly.

    That's a monstrous contract. If he keeps playing like he can though, it's definitely worth it.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Utley is in the same mold of 2Baggers as Jeff Kent and Alfonso Soriano in his days at 2B. Power hitting 2Bmans!

    Similar Batters through Age 27

    1. Alfonso Soriano (940)
    2. Jeff Kent (935)
    Good call.
