Yes, his age 30-34 seasons have produced a total of 6 WAR. All for the low low price of $97 million. He's got 2 more years at $42 million left.

I completely agree with the point you're making. I love Alex Gordon, but if some idiot GM offers him $100 million, he should take it and run.
I'd be happy for him in exactly the same way I'm happy for Billy Butler and the $30 million deal he got from Billy "most overrated GM in history" Beane.
