Is Wieters Worth $100 Million?

[Bradysburns]

Sorry if this was posted somewhere else. But what say you? If you were DD, would you pay Wieters $100 million for any amount of years? It seems he has already asked for almost twice that, if you believe the rumors.

We're talking Scott Boras hyperbole here. Wieters is worth about 5/60M now IMO. If he has a good year next season then that will go up maybe 5/75.

[waroriole]

No. Not even close. I'd consider something like 5/65, but I wouldn't want to buy any more than 3 years of his FA.

[El Gordo]

I don't see anyone giving him 10 years. 6-7 tops

[Pedro Cerrano]

In a word? Hellfreakingno.

[Pedro Cerrano]

5/45 or dealt.

Let's publicly agonize over whether the team should mortgage the future over cornerstone Matt Wieters at 10/150 and then reluctantly fold under pressure and agree to a trade to some team that thinks such a valuation even remotely has some connection to reality.

[Trackmaster]

Honestly, I don't know why any team would ever sign a player for more than four years, maybe five years with an option year. I know that most All-Star caliber players under the age of 30 would never consider shorter deals, but I don't see the point of giving a player a contract that basically guarantees him a job with you for the rest of his career, no matter how good he is. I want players playing for their next contract.

Well gosh I don't think I would. I don't believe he has enough left in the tank for

that kind of money. Twenty million a year is too much. IMO

[joedogg9999]

Hell no. I wholeheartedly believe we need to trade him asap, but if not, theres no way we should give him anymore than 5 years. Personally, I dont even want him on the team when spring training comes around.

[luismatos4prez]

At this point, I'm perfectly content to let him play out his contract on arbitration and then let him hit the market. He's still a good catcher. Unless of course his asking price becomes realistic or we get blown away by a trade offer.

[canonfaz]

No. Most I would go would be 5/60 or something. He just hasn't show the offensive presence do justify much more than that.

If a team is offering a decent package with a legit TOR candiate, then I would deal him this offseason. If not, I'm perfectly fine with going to arbitration for the next years.

This is right on the money imo.

[SrMeowMeow]

Wieters is probably a three or four win player right now. If he were entering free agency, I'd say he'd get close to 100M, but it wouldn't be much of a deal.

[Camden_yardbird]

Wait and see what McCann gets. Besides age, they have been remarkably similar players since 2009. I sincerely doubt its anywhere near $100 million.
