Guess that means back ups will now command $10 mil plus

They're predicting his future. He is only 26, and if he did replicate his '14 he would easily get 100+ for 6 + years. His FIP suggests that while in Detroit his ERA was worse than it should have been due to poor defense. A good third and first baseman (could argue two b/c Craig), an above average third baseman and arguably the best defensive second baseman is an upgrade. Plus an outfield that could see Nava, Bradley, Victorino, Castillo and Betts cycling through. The new reality is that pitching is expensive. Masterson got 10 million with a 6 ERA in '14, and he took LESS to be with the Red Sox, than what the Rangers offered.
