Would’ve liked to see them avoid it by locking him up long term.

This is how small teams compete/Salary caps tradeoff would be bad

Hardy was worth an average of $21 mil in each of the last two years.

I wonder how long it will take until teams and arbitrators start understanding value. I bet Fielder gets quite a bit more, though he’s not as good of a player and is only in his first year of arb.

Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.

I sure hope he comes to ST trimmed down.

Bill E Hall’s Mother’s Day Miracle (2006) was on a couple of weeks ago – Prince has ballooned up like a corpse in the Arizona desert compared to just a couple of years ago.

I’m glad teams (and apparently JJ) don’t understand actual value. You have to love that a guy who was worth almost 6 wins last year gets less than 5, and a slow, bad defensive player who plays a much less premium position is going to get between 6 and 8.

Hopefully that same lack of understanding is applied to when we trade Prince.

I’m less hopeful, seeing as how Dunn, Abreu, et al have yet to find homes and the ones that have (Burrell, Ibanez) aren’t getting the deals they wanted. And seeing as how Ibanez’s signing is universally panned, I’m thinking teams have finally wised up.
