Yu Are Expensive
May 13, 2008, 5:42 pm
Jim Caple, at ESPN, has a solid read (very lengthy) on Yu Darvish. He also projects Yu’s posting fee (if posted) to be somewhere around $75 million (my early projections were off by about $15 million). Although the Kei Igawa debacle has soured Yankee fans on the entire posting process, Yu Darvish might just be worth the price. He’s reportedly better than Dice-K and a lot younger.
At the end of the day, hell, it’s not our money, right?
(P.S. how intense is this picture?)
If we get him, then everyone will be on Joba AND Darvish about their intensity and expressions on the mound….
ESPN would love that.
I understand all the Igawaphobia going on.
But i really hope the Yankees don’t balk on Yu because of that.
Yu seems worth it in the long run.
