    baseball contracts in general are terrible right now, hence why I said it wasn't terrible. Sliding scale bit and all.

    Most players who get signed in free agency are, by nature, overpaid.

    Of course, many typically are underpaid before they hit free agency (see: Trout) so it often (but not always) balances out I suppose.

    Re: Twins sing Phil Hughes

    the fact that phil hughes gets paid to play baseball annoys me. i dont care whether hes underpaid, overpaid, or correctly paid... his face annoys me. his stupid curveball annoys me. his declining velocity fastball annoys me. the chance that another fan base can be as annoyed by him as i am, makes me somewhat happy... but not all the way happy.

    OUCH! I don't think I am even that mean to fans of the Evil Empire. (Though it was a good one.)

    Hughes is probably just as happy to get out of there as Ham and Mach are to see him go, sometimes a change of scenery is good for both sides.

    In retrospect, the Phil Hughes signing was the best move the Twins' brass made this year. He has pitched pretty well for a bad team.

    Best signing by far. Nolasco to me was a bust. Next of season we need relievers and a top hitter to sign.
