every recent contract has been insane

These ridiculous contracts are making the Astros owner look more and more like a fing genius.Comment -
kershaw might get 30 million a yearComment -
gotta look at all the other Shortstops in baseball
they all suck right now
Guy was near the top for WAR and OPS last year for shortstops.
he'd be a below average corner infielder or outfielder for sure though!!!Comment -
Hasn't proven much to the contrary so far.Originally posted by Chi_archieComment -
it's a down period for SSs for sure, but a guy whose OPS and WAR are as low as Andrus's...Originally posted by Chi_archie
he doesn't deserve 15 million a year.
OPS+ by season: 82, 72, 89, 91
lol
I would've offered 4 years, 32 million.
If the agent says no, I still have him for two more seasons.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

He's what I call a second tier SS, first tier would be a healthy Tulo, the next tier are the Jimmy Rollins and the Starlin Castro's of the world. He's in there.Originally posted by You mad bro
He's better than a Asdrubal Cabrera of the Indians, not quite as good as Jose Reyes.
Unlike Reyes who seems to be on the DL twice a year, Andrus has played virtually every game of his 4 year career. Rookie of the Year runner up in '09, two time all star already, 285 hitter, nice OBA guy, around .350, with speed to burn. Will steal 30 bases a year, that's a given. No home run pop, but name me (besides Tulo) that does.
Steady shortstop, good, not great range according to fangraphs.com
Overpaid at 15 mil per year, but the SS pool is thin, and manager Washington says he is working hard on discipline at the plate, (did he .414 this spring) is a work out beast I hear, and a good clubhouse guy.
Yes Brock, he is good, not 15 mil per year good.
4 years at 12 mil per would have been more than generous.Comment -
what was his WAR last year?
where did that rank among SS'sComment -
^
3.7 WAR, almost 4 games better than replacement.
Give me a minute, let's see how that ranks against his peers.Comment -
Horrible contract. Good for the young guy.Comment -
Tied for second with Castro last year, only better WAR rating was Aybar, best in the majors for SS's at 4.0Originally posted by Chi_archie
I like Aybar a lot by the way, did not realize he was tops.Comment -
From all accounts though, he's a guy you want on your teamOriginally posted by broadway6Comment -
Sure but at that salary?Originally posted by stevenashComment -
thanks Nasher
well people must not like having a top SS signed to big money because they guy won't be in his prime during the contract years
could that be it?Comment -
Give me that salary I'll play SS, do the team laundry and scrub the toilets.Originally posted by broadway6Comment -

I would hire 3 mexicans to do the laundry and scrub the toilets if I was you. You can afford them with that salary.Originally posted by stevenashComment -
Texas coulda had Clint Barmes at 5.5 million for a few years
they focked upComment -
This is what Tulo just got.

Asdrubal Cabrera is better than himComment -
No he's notOriginally posted by MonchitoComment -
6 years 72 million i think would have been goodComment -
what about Jurickson Profar? This makes no sense.Comment -
They did this to send a message to Ian Kinsler to move to 1B or OF so Profar can come up, and to give the team options for Giancarlo StantonOriginally posted by WvGamblerComment
