    Re: Jose Conteras

    Yeah, but no teams can constantly pay out high contracts like the Yanks. Maybe Boson but...yeah, you know, it never works out

      Soriano made $630,000 last season while finishing third in the AL MVP voting. This is how he stacked up last year with some of the highest paid second basemen:

      Alfonso Soriano $630,000 39 HR 102 RBI .300 AVG
      Roberto Alomar $8M 11 HR 53 RBI .266 AVG
      Bret Boone $8M 24 HR 107 RBI .270 AVG
      Jeff Kent $6M 37 HR 108 RBI .313 AVG
      Jose Vidro $4M 19 HR 96 RBI .315 AVG

          The reason the yankees got soriano is because they outbid everyone when he was ruled a free agent from japan.

                  The Yankees were also in on the bidding. When New York more than doubled Cleveland’s proposal to $3.1 million for five years, Alfonso took it. It wasn’t just the money—he knew he could make 20 times that amount if he became a star. He liked the fact the Yankees still projected him as a shortstop. The Yankees signed Alfonso in time to send him to the Arizona Fall League, where he played for the Grand Canyon Raptors. Among his teammates was Shea Hillenbrand, the Boston third baseman who is now one of the AL’s best young hitters. The two remain friends to this day. Other future major leaguers on the club included Preston Wilson and Marlon Anderson and John Rocker.

                      Soriano is friends with Hillenbrand?

                      Do they share each other's strategy at takin a walk???
