No sleep here

I was about to go to sleep when I saw this.

To summarize: Jeromy Burnitz, 2 years, $12 million (possibly the richest deal in franchise history), 37 years of age (older than Joe Randa). Pure insanity. The column is full of superlatives such as:

He is a left-handed power hitter, with 299 career home runs to go with a .255 average, and is sound defensively.
Color me all warm and tingly after that sentence. I'm going to try and sleep, probably thrashing about with nightmares of our Chris Duffy, Jack Wilson, Jason Bay, Sean Casey, Jeromy Burnitz, Joe Randa murderer's row to kick off next season. I'm going to go to bed and pray that I'm completely delusional.
