Autobots sign Jackson
Autobots signed SS Greg Jackson, 24, to a 5 year contract worth 62.5 million. Jackson is hitting .268 with 19 homers and 71 RBI, and has taken as many walks (56) as he's struck out.
Greg would have been a restricted free agent after the season, and Phoenix wanted to avoid losing him in a Joey Renseller like bidding war.

Fiscal sanity is dead.
I agree with the King. Portland doesn't seem to be showing any ill effects not having Renseller in their lineup this year...
I think Phoenix has lost their mind. $12 million a year for that? Jackson's not even proven himself a .300 hitter. Madness. Sheer madness.
Back in my day you could buy an entire franchise for that. Two even!
Did someone say Rod Jackson?! Rod's a great up and comer. I like the looks of that kid. A little green, sure, but he packs a whallop!
Powerful, the dark side is.
But Greg Jackson is so cute!!! you guys. All my girlfriends in Phoenix want to marry him.
Jackson's a pretty good player, but he's not worth this kind of money. If that's what it takes to keep him, the Bots should have traded him for a couple of first round draft picks so we can rebuild.
This is ri-damn-diculous. He's getting a Conan contract while being half the player Conan is! UUUUUUUTTTTTEEEEEE!
You are such a ....fatyodafatyodafatyoda.
