Tell me what is a pitcher worth when he has shown the ability and
still has the tools to put up a line of 14/185/3.6/1.25

The question still to be answered.
Seems to me that $6 is cheap for a 29 year-old guy who is two years away from ace status and who crashed like a lot of Red Sox in the Bobby Valentine disaster of last year. If he gets me just what Bill James is forecasting it'll be $6 well spent i.e. see my tag line below.[/quote
Wasn't questioning the price, was questioning the "still has the tools" part. Question still to be answered. Even Bill James is wrong sometimes.
He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool - shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple - teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep - wake him. He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise - follow him
