Trout would get more than Harper and Machado combined if I'm writing the checks.

And I really like Machado.

Strasburg borders on being overrated.

Straburg borders on overrated, but he's gone quiet while being really really solid still. - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:46 1
- They absolutely are and that's why I didn't say he was wildly overrated. - David Dec 6, 08:59
Trout's the one guy there that I just can't value in any context. $35mil a year is absurd, but given what we see elsewhere.... - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:39 6
- see, this is the problem, all the idiot owners who open up the pockets for these guys. - groiny Dec 6, 08:41 1
  - I'm surprised Dreifort didn't blow out his arm signing the contract. - David Dec 6, 08:45
- Right now, Trout is ARod without the ARodity. Still, there are practical payment limits so I would say $30 million is still about right. - David Dec 6, 08:41 3
  - Trout has age on his side. 10 years and 300 million is certainly viable. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 08:43 2
    - That's why I picked those 6 guys...10years still puts them in baseball prime ages. - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:45 1
      - well, I agree, no pitcher should get a deal more than 5 years, ever. - groiny Dec 6, 08:47
