Reds just gave Bailey a 6 yr/ 105M extension. I know we got some Reds fans on here, thoughts?

I love Bailey as a 3 or 4 in the rotation. But that's alot of money for us

Damn, that's a lot of cheese for a solid (not spectacular) pitcher.

Good for him though. You are worth what someone is willing to pay you

To me it seems like Bailey is either really really good, or really really bad on a day when he takes the mound. He seems to lack the consistency for 105M IMHO

I like Homer, but that is ridiculous.

2nd highest paid player on the roster behind Votto.

Couple this with the albatross contract that Broxton got to be a set-up man.

did it buy out any arbitration years?

any club options or buyouts?

If you look at his WAR he's a 3.7 guy so that's a little shy of 5 million a win. That doesn't seem that ludicrous.

17.5 million a year for a pitcher like Bailey is pretty much the going rate these days.

He's improved every year hes been in the league, and he hasnt missed a start since 2011. I'm fine with the signing. Probably means they lose Latos when he is eligible for free agency though.

I like it, I just hope that he would be more consistent.
