I think the other 2 contracts are in the ballpark for what people would consider....so $425mil for Trout? I could argue that's reasonable but at some point, the scale is lost.

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
