Coming off the best season of his career at age 31 (he turns 32 in a week), Ruben "Streak" Souffront, was a free agent this off-season. Having produced just a 0.6 WAR season in 1975, his first in a Wild Thing uniform, Souffront produced an All-Star 5.9 campaign in 1976. And although he had the opportunity to cash in by taking his talent's elsewhere, in the end the free agent outfielder will remain in Portland, having been signed to a 4-year deal which nets him 300K per season.
