Relative to the market (excusing his actual worth as a player), we probably overpaid him by 10-20 million, and definitely gave him an extra year he didn't deserve.
This, of course, came off of a season where we lost to the Dodgers in the LDS after he dropped a routine flyball off his nutsac that cost us the second game.

I'll admit that the only reason I checked this thread today was that I enjoy Cardinal pain... especially yours... nothing personal just that you're pretty funny and entertaining to Cardinal haters like myself. But in the process I discovered that you actually know the game quite well... which I appreciate... and of course I can always appreciate ones passion for their team even if it's not mine. So........ thanks for the entertainment I guess...... but mostly you have my respect as a baseball fan.
