I wouldn't go quite that far, nobody's going to give Gordon $200M, but the idea of paying someone for their declining years is more valid.
My greater point was how much more will Hosmer and Moose get than Gordon? You obviously can't afford to give every one of these guys $20M a year, unless you're the Dodgers. So you have to pick and choose... but there is the risk Hos/Moose could walk. Giving it to guys still in their 20's definitely seems like the safer play. Although I think Gordon is tough and will age okay. His defense may decline but he'll hold his own at the plate.
