That's not the question. By himself of course he's worth it. Combining it with the future value of Myers and Odorizzi makes it more complicated. We traded prospects for Shields plus the contract. I did the hypothetical WAR calls earlier. James has to earn 6.9WAR to break even on the cash which he should do. The question is what the prospects earn for Tampa.
It's apples to apples. If they flop for Tampa we win, if they don't we lose. But everyone already knows that.
