What kb is saying is that $12 mil for a guy projected to hit 15 home runs and take some walks is too much. I agree with him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'd have to assume they projected him higher, because if not it's obvious that it's an atrocious contract. No matter how many people were bidding for him. A GM with good FA acquisition skills would recognize that a player has massively exceeded his value and go out and find an alternative.
