Yahoo Sports is reporting that the Texas Rangers are looking at at Vladimir Guerrero.  Guerrero wants a deal similar to what Bobby Abreu just signed with the Los Angeleas Angels – 2 year, $18 million.

Between 2005-2008 while with the Angels and not including his injury shortened 2009 season where he hit 15 home runs in 100 games, Guerrero has cost them almost $500,000 per home run.  This is what a typical MLB slugger would be making.  Yahoo thinks that he’ll get a 1 year deal between $3-5 million.  Are they saying that Guerrero will only hit 6-10 home runs?  If any time can get him for $3-5 million then go for it.  He may not get Abreu money, but he’ll hit 20 home runs for you.  On a conservative cost basis of $300,000 per HR, that will net him at least a $6 million per year contract.  I say he goes for at least $7 million a season with a 2 year minimum.  Oh yeah…  he’ll put people in the seats too.
