The Yankees are Funny

Joe Girardi, coach of the Yankees, had this to say about Jacoby Ellsbury joining his team:

"There are so many different ways he can beat you, whether it's with his power or with his speed or with his glove," Girardi said. "Jacoby, you are going to make my job so much easier. You are no longer a thorn in my side; you are a flower in our clubhouse."

 "You are a flower in our clubhouse"?  Is that supposed to be a compliment?  And what kind of flower is worth $153 million dollars?  ABSURD :)
