His price was jacked up because of the market. He was widely considered the best player available and it's hard to pass up a young switch hitting 5-tool centerfielder with the speed and power he's got. Plus, he's coming off one of the greatest individual post-season performances I can remember. Most years he wouldn't have made this kind of money. He benefitted from slim pickings.
