His ERA plus in those two years was 100 and 102. That makes him almost perfectly average. Is an average starting pitcher worth $7 million? I say no.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's got nothing to do with what "BT was offering we could do". I have nothing to do with Fangraphs valuations. They are based on WAR, which is about a billion times better stat than ERA.

Here's what you offered we could do:
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->You can argue with their $$ valuations I suppose, but you can't argue with WAR, and WAR says these guys are better than replacement players.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's all I was doing, homey. I was "argu[ing] with their $$ valuations." No need to be defensive.
If their $$ valuations are based on WAR, and their $$ valuations are total garbage (I'm just saying if), then it really casts a pall over WAR, no?
