Baalke/Paraag/Jed=AWESOME. I think PW would've gotten a lot more than that on the open market too. Just look at how paid Haynesworth got. Seems to me like Willis kind of took a hometown discount IMO because he likes the team and he gets to play for Sing. Great news though.
Dude is the highest paid MLB EVER, i dont think thats a hometown dicount
But...that's not the point. Pretty good chance he would have gotten a bigger contract as a FA. Dansby got 5 years 43million dollars...! In 2012, Willis would have gotten a LOT more than 43 million. Close to 55-57 million for 5 years.
