He had a great year this year but previously was at best very good, not really what you would expect out of the (at the time anyhow) highest salary in baseball. In the long term perhaps he will be worth it though. But my point was at the time he was demanding an absurd salary given his resume, but teams are so eager for talent that someone was willing to accede to his demands.
