Reply to "How Much Should Strasburg Get?"

Here's a non-hypothetical for you guys, by the way:

Was Rick Porcello worth his bonus in 2007?

He sure is pitching a lot better right now than a lot of guys who cost a lot more. Not all of them, but a lot of them. And he's just getting started.

Should the Tigers have refused to sign him unless he would've taken less than the $7.65 million that he got?

Do you think they'd have their 2-game lead in their division without him? If they were out of playoff contention, how much worse off would that organization be financially right now? And how would that amount compare to the couple of million that perhaps could've been saved if they'd've taken someone else instead of Porcello?
