oh, my error. he's definitely worth it then. Otherwise, they'd be 12 games back instead of 8. But they are in the hunt for the prized wild card!!
I'm by no means an advanced stat geek, but this link shows him between 80-120 best in WAR depending on if you do just offensive. Perhaps another shows him higher, I don't know. Hey, if you've got 250M, to burn, go ahead.

I'm pretty happy with how the team I follow (Cleveland) manages their team. They had their renaissance around the same time as the Cats, and have been in the playoffs about half the time since then, and have (lost) 3 world series. And pretty much every single time they've made a long term contract with a free agent, he immediately bursts into flames. no thanks. Meantime, I live in Balt and get to witness the Chris Davis debacle daily, or at least when the manager is kind enough to play him.
