Quote:Me?  I make up stuff?  Why are you spouting off about trading him for a 4th rounder when I said 3rd in the original post?

 

And why are you still responding to the thread you want to die?  (Not answering, no surprise there).

 

As far as the contract values vs the production of the player, it doesn't really matter.  Everybody knows all kind of factors go into contracts, depending on the team, player, needs, etc.  This is not a "pay for performance" league, if you have not figured it out.

 

Contract value vs. production matters a whole bunch.

 

Let me see if I can get this straight.  A player is drafted in the 4th round, proves to be pretty good, and rather than offer him a contract following a rookie contract, you say trade him for a 3rd round pick?  Exactly what team would offer a 3rd round pick to a veteran drafted in the 4th round of his draft class?  Especially for a player that you call "injury prone"?  That team would also have to negotiate his new veteran salary.  Exactly which team would spend a 3rd round pick and offer him a veteran salary?
