[Detroit]

Ok, polling question to everyone.

Tanaka - 17.11M / 5yrs

1. Going rate
2. Paid above going rate
3. Got a bargain


I would love to hear people's responses...

You bid more than me, so you over paid.

That wasn't the response I was looking for Tor! But, LOL

Way over paid - hope he doesn't catch that TJ virus that's going around.

it's great to see all that money go to a pitcher who only pitches once in 5 games, and Votto was too expensive?

[Minnesota Twins]

Sounds like 16 coulda taken it, so Overpaid. I wouldn't have given a million even...oh wait that's COULDN'T have. Personally i wanted to see him go for $20 mil so i was disappointed.

Interesting responses.

I bid $10m. My plan was to immediately trade him. I don't like paying retail for pitchers.

Just my preference though.

The 5 years is what gets me though. It's almost impossible to say what a pitcher will look like 5 years out.
