We’ve played this game with two players already. However, it is high time we set down two important ground rules. The first ground rule is that every contract I submit is from the agent’s point of view. It doesn’t mean you have to take it. Obviously, we won’t be able to pay everyone even if the contract is acceptable to all parties. So, we should get that part out of the way.
The second one is more for fans than for teams. I call it the Carlos Lee law. The Astros paid Lee 100 million dollars over six seasons and suddenly fans thought he was an MVP candidate.
