If the Ms give him a 2 / $6.5M contract, as they did another sore-shouldered pitchmeister from across the waves, and it worked out anywhere near the same, I'd think that bet an extremely good one. With 'Kuma AND Young, you're really playing with house money -- with Jamie Moyer's performance as the (outside) possibility of return - let's see, how much was 36.4 WAR of return worth in $$$ ?
I would bet on Young -- it's not a sure thing, by any means -- but a VERY decent bet. And especially considering his stated attitude towards his career - let the results speak - one that HELPS, not hurts, any clubhouse.
