I don't mean in a DocDetecto kind of way, but in a "if the team is going to compete or not" kind of way.

Looking at his likely 3 Wins Added and cost of 16-18 M$ per year for 5-7 years, it only makes sense if the team acquiring him has already added enough that they will be in the 85+ Win range.

Are we there? I doubt it.

And Barnstormer, I wouldn't trust any site on payrolls that doesn't use the CBA definition of payroll. Plenty of teams have guys not on the 25Man roster who cost significant money. I would use Hardball Dollars for last year.

And my quest on how to duplicate their data here continues, although with our software we are now much closer.

I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
