Porcello's last 3 years have been 2.7, 2.8, 2.7 WAR. At roughly $7 mil per WAR this isn't absurd at all. Considering the fact that Porcello is still only 26 this is the Red Sox gambling on his health more than anything IMO. If his health holds up he shouldn't have much problem giving value at least close to what he's being paid.
