I guess with drafting in the top ten for 20 yrs your bound to get something good.
Byron Buxton was the most impressive young ballplayer I've ever seen. He made other guys look like they were wearing cement galoshes playing the field.
Sports Fans are talent whores. And they love them some O'Neil Cruz! Personally I think his new salary is fine. The reason hes making such a Low figure is because his production is so bad. 20 HRs and some stolen bases is why hes making 3 Million. If he brought anything else at all to the table he'd be making 5 times that. HRs are only a component of a much larger metric profile of a player's Contributions. Your not paying for potential in these arbitration hearings. So how much do you value HRs I guess is the question. The Pirates aren't even sure this guy can play in the field anywhere? He might just be a full time DH before age 29? And hes probably not even a good DH as much as he strikes out and cant put the ball in play. Great athlete. Bad Baseball Player. Just my opinion.
