Tex was a rare yankee signing, a top player reaching his prime, not past it.

Beltran was a hell of a player before that postseason. I think he is pretty good value at $17 million especially when you consider his defensive and baserunning abilities which are as good as they get in the league. 283 stolen bases to 38 caught stealing in his career is incredible.
