The Mariners sign Richie Sexson to a $50 dollar contract. Fifty million to a first baseman? It's not as if power hitting first basemen who strike out a lot are rare. I can understand overpaying for pitching because there aren't many out there, but a first basemen who had nine homeruns and a .233 batting average in an injury riddled year?
To make things worse, Safeco Field is a pitchers' park. How many would-be homeruns that Sexson hits will be caught on the warning track?
So many players are being paid too much this offseason. Those agents who had been shouting about collusion should shut up now.
