Lets take it easy until this year. He produces same numbers or exceeds, then you guys can get on his horse...

I remember your quotes quite well on Tulo.

The guy is solid. Not worth this contract.

GFY!

I was obviously wrong about him, but I am not sure he is worth the 8th largest contract ever or whatever it was.

The timing is agressive but he is absolutely worth that money if his production continues at the same level. Considering he is 26 there is no reason to believe that he wont.
Here is the deal:

10 years/$157.75M (2011-20), plus 2021 club option

-11:$5.5M,
-12:$8.25M,
-13:$10M,
-14:$16M,
-15-19:$20M annually,
-20:$14M,
-21:$15M club option ($4M buyout)

-salaries for 2020 and 2021 may increase by $6M annually based on MVP votes, Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers or All-Star selections

-$2M assignment bonus if traded

-may be traded only once during contract

Now that doesnt look so bad does it?
