Thats Odd

I thought Matt Morris would get more than this...

Morris agreed to a one-year deal with the Cardinals on Tuesday. Morris is guaranteed $2.5 million and can earn another $4.5 million in incentives.


The funny part...

He turned down a two-year, $15.5 million deal before the season, figuring he could get more in free agency. Then he posted his worst season in the majors (4.72 ERA), although he did still manage to win 15 games. Morris underwent shoulder surgery last week to repair fraying of his labrum.


So he might start next season on the DL. But still it seems like every time he pitches against us he beats us or makes it atleast tough. I was hoping Morris would cost them much more than that.
