I wonder about value predictions. The rate at which money is entering the game...can you just evaluate them from this point forward? I mean, Madison Bumgarner (13-9, 2.77 ERA) is going to make $3.95M this year. Tim Lincecum (10-14, 4.37 ERA) will make $17M. How do you adjust for value there? Is the market a relevant measuring tool? Does the date the contract was signed matter?
It hurts my brain thinking about these things.
