Z structured it exactly right....apparently. Based on those four comps, anyway.
Great stuff, Spec.
Basically I had figured Cruz was toast in the final year of the contract anyway, with 2 of the previous three years being Cruz-like. Meaning we needed to get his full value out in 2-2.5 years, in my mind anyway.
Your post gives more room for hope at the end of the contract.
75 homers for the next three years, without a Gorman Thomas batting average, earns his paycheck.
85 homers means we've got some gravy, too.
90+? Oh, can we dare to dream?
