My $36M Man

Here is my guy who wanted an excessive contract. I don't find his demands unrealistic though. I signed him cheap through his arb years (in OOTP15). I could see him wanting out of my organization and look to make some big money. He is one of the best middle infielders in the league.

People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that. Billy, of the 20,000 notable players for us to consider, I believe that there is a championship team of twenty-five people that we can afford, because everyone else in baseball undervalues them."
