Isn’t it cheap for him? 15.year?

15 mil/yr for .298 obp if he worth that what will ellsbury be worth ? over  20 mil will 6yrs probably 125-135 million

B.J. is one of the most overrated players in baseball.   Solid base running, good defense, lousy hitter.  Always a year from that big year.  The Braves over-payed by at least $5 a year for him.  They should have gone for Bourne.  He may be older but at least he can hit!

IMHO too much money for any BJ

Jacoby has a career obp advantage of exactly .013 over Upton and has only flashed power in one season.  Jacoby is also older than Upton and has been far less durable.  Why would Jacoby be entitled to $50-60m more?  One outlier season three years before FA?  If so, let’s give Napoli $100m based on his 2011.

 BJ Upton is a better hitter than Bourne, this year and his entire career.  If you think BJ Upton is a poor hitter you have no concept of the current offensive environment.  How would you even justify Bourn being the better hitter?  Even if you overvalue batting average, undervalue walks, and extremely undervalue power you’d still have an insane argument.
