I think he's worth the huge incentives. $3MM in incentives could look like this...<br />$250K for winning the Cy Young<br />$100K All-Star nomination<br />$200K Starting All-Star game<br />$100K for each of 100 IP, 120 IP, 140 IP, and 160 IP<br />$200K for each of 180 IP and 200 IP<br />$250K for 220+ IP<br />$100K for each 150 SO, 160 SO, 170 SO, 180 SO, 190 SO<br />$250K for each 200 SO and 225+ SO<br />$100K for each 20 GS, 24 GS, 28 GS, 32+ GS<br /><br />The real payoffs all will come with consistent health, if he makes all his starts, he'll have 32+ starts with 220+ IP and 225+ SO, that will also put him in line for the Cy Young possibly and/or the All-Star game. Only $450K would be out of his control as he can pitch great but that doesn't mean he'll win the Cy Young or start the All-Star game, but the rest is well within his reach! The Mariners need to lock him up and he's easily a $20MM a year pitcher if he can avoid the injuries, so giving 1/2 that based on incentives would be a steal. Even if he keeps suffering injuries he's worth the $40MM base plus the few incentives that would be attainable with minimal effort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153099884472898149.post-25706812328717952832009-09-26T03:19:31.556-04:002009-09-26T03:19:31.556-04:00I'd say $7 million is fair for Bedard with ton...I'd say $7 million is fair for Bedard with tons of incentives because if he's healthy, he's a $12-$15 million dollar a year pitcher.Jorge Says No!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04358737179481087781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153099884472898149.post-1531174843427025322009-09-23T20:24:40.925-04:002009-09-23T20:24:40.925-04:00I think Bedard at $7 million would be a great deal...I think Bedard at $7 million would be a great deal. He could probably be worth that after 80 innings. If you happen to get 160 or more out of him, you have a steal. I cant see a team giving him much more than that, but I think whoever gets him will get themselves a great value.Greg F.http://pendingpinstripes.netnoreply@blogger.com
