With the 5 year contract, we bought out two arbitration years, right? If Ackley performs to expectation (1 year in the minors, 1 year to get acclimated, 1 year to show his talent, comfortably performing by year 4), who knows how much we would have paid him in his first 2 years in arbitration.
Is my understanding of arbitration years off here? Is it fair to assume he'd make at least 5 mil in those two years of arbitration that we bought out?
