Super Day for a Super Two
The Rays and Wily Aybar agree to a two year deal. Tampa Bay buys half his arbitration years with this money.
I wonder why they didn't go for a four year deal. True, Aybar is likely to be a backup, so why waste that kind of money on a bench player? Even with an off year in 2008, Wily's career OBA is good. Some other team might find him attractive, and more so with his cost locked in for a few more years.
