More on Longoria

Sky has some good math and perspective on the recent Evan Longoria deal. The Rays’ management team has been very creative with long-term deals and option years for several years now. Every once in a while, they’ll sign a clunker (as in Rocco Baldelli) but it’s a very smart strategy for the team. And, as Sky points out, there are logical reasons for Longoria to take the deal, too.
