What next?

So... anyone know anything about this Nunez guy the Phillies signed? I mean, $1.7M or so a year is a pretty good haul for a utility player, no? Honestly, I don't understand. How did this happen? What's next, Tike Redman hitting .330 in center for the Mets next year and pulling in a 2 year $5M deal next offseason?

Meanwhile, the closer market continues to spiral out of control with Billy Wagner signing the second ridiculous contract of the last week. With the way things are going, even Jose Mesa might be worth something this offseason...*shudder*. Meanwhile, us Pirates fans are eagerly anticipating hearing our name falsely included in big trade rumors when the winter meetings happen next week, then the big washed up free agent spending spree around New Years. It's gonna be a good offseason.
