I hope they arent breaking the bank based off of last season's 3 win season. If they actually look at the full body of work based on WAR, they can see what an unpredictable player they are getting. If the guy is getting paid off last season and next year projections, well, that's a pretty narrow minded use of sabermetrics.


well my explanation was pretty basic and simple. I'm sure the Sox have much more complex and accurate internal calculations.

But I don't think they are paying him an extra $5 million a year because he was lucky enough to be on a team that made the postseason three times and hit well over 150 or so career PA at-bats.

He would not be the first nor will he be the last guy to capitalize off of postseason success. I think you're giving the Sox FO too much credit.


And just like that, Kyle Seager, who is a year younger, gets 7/100. Seager is a better player (especially if you're using WAR) yet he is going to make ~$6m less per year than Sandoval
