Yes, I will, because Bobby Abreu, Pat Burrell, and Adam Dunn are all better players and got ridiculously cheaper contracts (and didn't cost draft picks too!).

As HGM already pointed out there are other players who bring the same/better offensive value all while being cheaper, younger and on a shorter contract.

Even if he produces like that this year what are the odds he does it the next year and the year after? Not to mention watching him in the OF makes one wish for the sweet embrace of eye cancer and cancels out much of the offensive value he brings.

Just don't claim credit for it! I'm sure it took a bit for Jeff to think that one up. :p
