[USML Announce] Help Me With the Math

[Jeffrey Winick]

Brad Lee,

That would be $50 for each.

And how about this for putting my money (or is that stomach) where my mouth is.  I'll eat a bug if Pujols goes for less than $50.

(Dennis, I'm counting on you to help me out here.....)

Jeff, is that fifty for both? Please be more precise if you intend to say something else, and I assume you do.  Neither goes for fifty. That's my prediction.

So says the man who has spent heavily on protected pitching.

While I agree that the very top starting pitchers have all been retained, it looks to me like there's a reasonably deep pool of pitchers at the next tier.  It's the offense where I think things are likely to get more interesting.  Factoring in that:  (i)  most teams already have at least one top starting pitcher retained; and (ii) the historical hesitancy of this league to bid up pitchers, I expect the inflation factor on hitting to be quite high and the inflation factor on pitching to be relatively low.  I figure Pujols and Fielder go for $50+.
