@ Hey, stoopid: As this conversation is occurring on an off-season forum about speculative comments made on the local cable network, you might be playing it fast and loose with the word "life." Also, you only need to use apostrophes for possessives.

$18-$20 million for Elvis is what I've been saying for the longest time. He might bring in more in an AAV sense. According to some of us "saber nerds," you know us "geeks living in our parent's basements," the math checks out. A 4.0-4.5 WAR player yet to hit his prime can real in that kind of money, especially because he plays at one of the two-to-three most important positions on the diamond, especially with the bloated TV contracts coming in, especially with inflation.

Some of you question "Why would a guy who can't hit home runs bring in that much money?" Well, it's simple. There is more than one way to skin a cat. In this sense, there's more than one way to win baseball games. You won't find better defensive shortstops than Elvis, and you'll be hard pressed to find better speed from the position. Both of them together? That = $.

4y/$108mm ... Yeah... JD was willing to pay Josh $25mm ($27mm, actually) per year. But, Josh wanted that 5th year and the AAV only ended up being $25mm, but that 5th year, he'll likely not be playing, anyway.

Whirling Darvish, according to the Troll Dictionary, you are henceforth a "nerd" for properly understanding the application of grammar.
