      It's amazing how these long-term baseball contracts never work out, yet they just keep coming.

      What am I missing here?

          I expected it to be bad the last few years, but not this early.

          I can't think of any good long-term deals.

          Rewarding players for past performances is the only reason it happens, I guess.

              With these ridiculous TV contracts, these teams have more money than they know what to do with.

                  Cabrera is the face of the Tigers. I still don't know why we must prove to the world he is though? Now I see how jealousy starts in a locker room. One guy makes $500,000 a year (I don't know what the league minimum is?) And you have one guy who makes $500,000 a week? I just don't understand the philosophy on this? But clearly it's business based on a margin how much one athlete makes for the revenue of a baseball franchise. The rule of thumb in business is... you spend half of what you should make. So This 300 million investment should make the Tigers 600 million in sales. Hmmmmmmm Still don't know how it's possible?

                      what has his velocity been?

                      some pitchers velocity rises with the temperature... - Pedro Martinez was like that.

                        I will be the first to predict but baseball is going to hit a serious financial crisis within five years

                        The payscales are way way too high verse any other sport

                        Less fans going to the game and less fans interested

                        You got to be a jerk off to spend $200 but your family to go to a baseball game and support the salaries

                          Wasn't it about 5 years back... all star players in MLB were bitching that they weren't being paid enough? This craziness all started with the A-Rod contract then Pujols.

                                most overhyped hitter. Giants made him look like a fat-lop with their pitching staff.

                                    screw that shit, its not about advanced stats. Its because the guys that vote are to penetrating lazy to look at anything but the back of a baseball card and get googly eyed over HR, RBI and AVG. And don't ever bother to watch a game a see that penetrating Baserunning and Fielded actually make a difference.

                                    Trout isn't better because some magic nerd stats made up to make him look good. He's better because he excels at huge amounts of the very basics of the game where Cabrera is clearly deficient.

                                        I remember when the Rangers paid ARod $250 million and they only got better after they dumped him.

                                          The topper is that Detroit already had him signed for 2014 and 2015 to begin with. He should start declining around 2016....and this is where they decide to extend him 8 more years ! It's like agreeing to buying a used car a few years from now for more than a similar new model would cost.

                                          Very few of these contracts are even remotely arguable as being not awful for the club.

                                          I cant think of a good one for the club that is 10 years or close to it.

                                              Trout is already a great player...can't argue that.
                                              I think you mean the Triple Crown.

                                              He was signed for two more years. This contract extensions kicks in for the 2016 season. Miggy turns 33 in April 2016.

                                              Doesn't get much worse than this.

Its because the guys that vote are to penetrating lazy to look at anything but the back of a baseball card and get googly eyed over HR, RBI and AVG. And don't ever bother to watch a game a see that penetrating Baserunning and Fielded actually make a difference.

                                                    Trout isn't better because some magic nerd stats made up to make him look good. He's better because he excels at huge amounts of the very basics of the game where Cabrera is clearly deficient.
                                                    You're enhancing my argument, as those are what advanced stats cover; or so they say.

                                                      He's only led almost all hitting stats the last ten years. Yeah he's overhyped. How dumb can you be?

                                                            Too much money and too many years for a guy who doesn't take care of himself. Imagine how fat and sloppy this drunk gets when he hits 34-35 years old.

                                                                  Doesn't get much worse than this.
