Every GM in baseball would take that risk. He's put up great numbers every season until this one. For $4M a season, you can hope he bounces back. If he doesn't, $4M isn't going to break your budget -- no big loss.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Absolutely right. There's not many teams in baseball that wouldn't take this shot. For the really bad teams, it is a good risk/reward. For the really poor teams, it is the only chance to get as potential star at this price. For the rich teams, $4mm is pocket change - they pay that for some of their backup OFs. Nothing to lose.
