The more I think about it the more I like this contract. Think about this: When Gary Matthews is Frank Thomas's age, he will be making $10million. We are talking about a premier all-time hitter, inarguably the most distinguished hitter to ever suit up for the Blue Jays. I don't care how old he is. When he has played he has always been productive so a drop off, given that he will be DH'ing, is rather unlikely. The only concern is injury, but there are some players you take that risk on; Frank Thomas is one of those players.
