for what it’s worth, mlbtraderumors (http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/04/marcum-crawford.html) suggests $12-14 million for c.c. as a free agent. i’m no economist, but if things go well for the rays this season (a big IF, i know) both on the field and at the ticket counter, isn’t that a sum they might be willing to pay for him? surely seems reasonable, particularly given the immanent departure of several other high-price players. then again, if he likes his knees and no new stadium deal is immanent, c.c. might be inclined to leave anyway…
those hypothetical $12-14/yr would hypothetically be for seven years. perhaps that’s a bit much, but a (somewhat) expensive c.c. and (holy freaking) cheap longoria for the next near-decade would go some distance towards solidifying this team in the long run…
