I would think Tim could do alot better than $11 million. There are alot of stupid GMs out there. Even if he were a broken down has been. Look at Pujols and ARod.
Dood - I would think a 10 year/$250 mil contract would be highly unlikely for Tim.
I wish I could see the "return to greatness", but I just can't. Tim can't sustain anything. He does good for a bit, then falls back again. It's been that way for nearly two seasons now. I don't see a return to former form as "highly forseeable". What Tim is now is what he is, I'm afraid.
Dood - most GMs--as stupid as they may seem to you--don't look at it this way. They see a 29 year old two time CY award winner with no-hit stuff still who is highly durable and who has lots of years left in him. What this will mean in terms of offers, I couldnt say.
What he has done is all you have to go on. Your decision is whether you want to pay for what he is now, or do you want to pay for what he was three years ago. As dumb as it seems, there are GMs out there who will choose the latter.
Dood - There ARE some happy medium options between those two extremes.
Tim will do fine, financially.
Dood - he already has and Im sure he will continue to for many years to come.
