But, heh. Price and Strasburg, especially Strasburg, must be having a V-8 moment (i.e., smacks head and says "D'oh" - a mashup of the commercial and The Simpsons but hopefully an effective way of relaying what I mean by "V-8 moment").

Not so much the average salary, Cole's is $36 mil to Strasburg's $35 mil, but the extra $72 mil guaranteed for the two additional years of Cole's contract.

Does anybody realistically think, barring steroids, that Cole is going to be a $36 mil pitcher in years 8 and 9 of his contract?

Of course, by then, this contract will appear as peanuts to what will be going on nine years from now. How soon will it be before we see the first billion dollar sports contract?
