4th on team.. which means there are only 5 guys with worse stats than him. That's worth 27.5 million a season to you? You need to get off the can and figure out what that kind of money would mean to you if your players weren't top in every stats and getting paid more than the guys who are.Off the top of my head...
14 HR's (4th on team), 45 RBI's (tied for 4th on team), 45 walks (3rd on team) and an OBP over .400 begs to differ, all while missing nearly 30 games is pretty impressive. All this while playing through injury, the steroid scandal, and being pitched around due to cold streaks at times by Cano/Matsui.
