lol what a contract
lol just beautiful
I'm pretty aware of that. That is why I said I was hoping not that I expect it as I know A-Rod will stick around to collect his cash.
Yankees are going to eat the remaining money and let him go after the suspension.
Jeter is the worst. Just the worst.
I always knew he was no good.
oh wow lol
Same thing I'll be saying about the Cano contract in a couple of years!

All big contracts turn bad at the end. The point is that hopefully you got enough production before things went bad to make it not seem as bad.
Arod's first deal before being renewed or restructured was worth every single penny.

That was the best deal ever, especially once it was traded. The Rangers were subsidizing that contract for the Yankees for a while.

The Phillies have announced Cole Hamels will begin the season on the DL due to tendonitis in his pitching shoulder.
Yes, but ten year deals to players in their 30s can be franchise crippling.
Ruh oh

Jeter had a damn fine career. Always fun to watch play. I look forward to the Brewers sweeping the Yankees this season while retiring his number or some shit.

Grantland's 15 worst contracts in baseball
Dodgers with 4 contracts in the "top 15" and 2 more in the dishonorable mention category.

The kiss of death for pitchers.
Well. Bad news for Mariners already starting.
Iwakuma sprained a tendon in his hand during the offseason and I guess didn't feel like telling anyone. Will most likely miss all of Spring Training.
Oh and in other news ... Jesus Montero showed up to camp looking like an overweight piece of shit.

Not sure if I agree with Ethier. He's been worth his contract so far.

Someone pointed this out on Twitter: Jeter's retirement completely overshadows the Bud Selig Retirement Tour.
Damn it.

I think it's on there mostly due to injury risk and because there isn't a whole lot of surplus value in the contract to begin with. Eyeballing that contract, he has to stay healthy and avoid a significant decline (in years 32-36) for his contract to be worth market value. Not much upside with a fair amount of potential downside.
oh hiroshima has bryan bullington as well, they sure love failed Pirates prospects
Also top 5 in 2002 has to have some the worst production
1 - Bryan Bullington .2 bwar in japan now
2 - BJ Upton
3 - Chris Gruler never went above A
4 - Adam Loeman .5 bwar hasnt had a ml stat since 2008
5 - Chris Everts hasnt made ml debut yet bouncing around minors still

Last year he made $13.5 million (first year of the deal) and was worth $14.7 million, that's not too bad BUT if you assume standard aging and WAR loss he's gonna lose like .5 WAR per year at this point. So you're looking at
2013 2.9 $13.5m
2014 2.4 $15.5m
2015 1.9 $18m
2016 1.4 $16m
2017 .9 $17m
2018 .4 $17.5m (team option, $2.5m buyout)
Total: 82.5m (I'm assuming he gets bought out for 2018)
The cost per WAR of a RFer from 2007 to 2011 was about $5.7m (http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/positional-differences-in-the-price-of-war-2/)
So if you use that as a reference point he's roughly going to be worth the following the next few years:
2013 $14.7m
2014 $13.68m
2015 $10.83m
2016 $7.98m
2017 $5.13m
2018 $0m ($2.18m but I'm assuming he gets bought out)
Total: $52.32m
Difference: $82.5m - 52.32 = 30.18m of lost money.
Inflation will offset some of this but I mean its still an awful contract.

he was mediocre last year
He was worth about 3 wins last year. That's what, 16-18 million on the open market?
Like I said, "so far". We all know he's going to be terrible in the final two years.
:lol :lol

looooool
Lololol at least he's honest about it
Get this man to Texas. Surely Jesus can net a substantial trade chip. Chubbiness is probably encouraged in Arlington at this point.
except jeters first 10 year contract.
