For those people that always look for players in the final year of their contract (Javy Lopez in 2003, i.e.), one thing I've noticed is that most of the contracts given out recently are only one or two year contracts, and therefore most players will be a contract year each season. That being the case, I expect the higher expected returns from players in their walk year to be less than in the past.
Just an observation/projection.

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
Does anyone have any numbers on contract year performance? I've always been a bit skeptical; it seems that for every time you hear, "X will have a great year playing for a big contract," you also hear, "Y will have a great year since he's comfortable after signing a new deal."
