there was a post about how CC Sabathia's contract extension broke down almost exactly like that (with projected regression and all that good stuff) . I don't suppose you could get a major league GM to admit how he values contracts though, no.

to be fair a lot of teams use the "~4.5 million per win" formula in evaluating contracts

2010 Liriano was a #3? that's even higher standards than Matt Cain as a 2

But no one thinks he can. So make him an 80 center fielder and let him move up the minors rather than wasting his development.

I don't get why they don't just throw Hamilton in center field.

especially in that league

haha gotcha. (i know what a guerrilla is, just didn't get the pun)

Probably, but I doubt that says anything about how good of a player he is. I'm sure there are a lot of players of the Albert Pujols ilk who would be happy with a walk and players like Jeff Francoeur who would be pissed.

God I hope so.

I doubt it. Also I'm not saying pressure doesn't exist or whatever. But I am saying that if a player is that affected by pressure, especially after being in hundreds of pressure situations in high school/college, the minors, etc. they're probably not making it to the majors.

That's the only source I've seen say Goodrum is a SS in the future. (also not to be that guy but it's gorilla unless there is some inside joke I am unaware of). As for Michael I agree they should give him time but if he's already splitting time at high A you know he's not going to be a SS much longer. Plus just watching him you can tell.

If a player is THAT affected by pressure to where you change your mechanics and stuff he wouldn't be in the major leagues. It's total nonsense to give that kind of thinking any credibility

That's all well and good, but this isn't little league or high school baseball or whatever

I would assume he would get more

as a Wild hater I totally hope they sign Parise to a huge deal and mess up their cap
