"Santana and the Mets agreed Friday to a $137.5 million, six-year contract extension"

Unbelievable!!! Hope the arm holds up for 6 more years!!! I wonder how high these contracts will keep going, twins will have to go AAA in a few years cause they won't be able to pay anyone, wait a minute new stadium coming.....hope they won't charge too much cause I'll be one of the first in line. Good luck to Johan I guess but better luck to our prospects we got!!!

As part of his six-year, $137.5 million contract extension - the largest contract ever given a starting pitcher - Santana agreed to defer $5 million per season at 1.25 compound interest from 2008 through 2014. The 2014 salary is currently a $25 million club option with a $5.5 million buyout. Santana will defer the buyout, if exercised, at 1.25 compound interest. The 2014 salary can become a player option if Santana:

* Wins the Cy Young and places second or third in any of the next five seasons.

* Finishes second or third in Cy Young voting in any three of the next five seasons.

* Pitches 215 innings in 2013 and is on active roster during final 30 days of season.

* Pitches a combined 420 innings in 2012 and 2013 and is on active roster during final 30 days of each season.

* Pitches a combined 630 innings in 2011-2013 and is on active roster during final 30 days if each season.

Befitting his status as a superstar, Santana will receive use of a 15-person luxury suite at Shea Stadium this season, including the playoffs, for all Mets' home games. He will also donate $250,000 a year to the Mets Foundation.

Did anyone see in the news paper they broke down how many pitches he throws in a season on average and then calculated how much he will be earning for each pitch?

He is making something like $6,500 for every single pitch he throws! That my friends is asinine.

Pier, you are right on. The NL is nowhere near as tough as the AL for one thing, also, not many guys in that league have faced him and he gets to strikeout at least 2 or 3 pitchers a game!

I am gonna predict more victories though. I think he will have at least 20 and he will lead the NL in strikeouts by quite a large margin and will be the unanimous Cy Young winner.

It actually will be a lot of fun(although it will hurt greatly) watching him pitch in the NL.

I think he will have a great year. A dominating pitcher, pitching against lineup a lot weaker then he faced in the AL. Always a pitcher in the lineup to strikeout a couple times, a pitchers park, especially for a fly ball pitcher.....but then again you never know.

He is a great hitter for a pitcher so he will pitch deep into games. I don't think they will be as careful with him as we were.

My guess is 23-8 2.59 era and 345 Ks. I think he will get a lot more decisions, because they will not pull him much for a pinch hitter. I wonder what those extra innings will do to his $250 million arm?

He always went for a pile in our fantasy draft, this year he will still go for a lot with those Ks and the lineup they have.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
