Rangers would like to resign SS Elvis Andrus Prior contract $454,180 (2014) minor league contract Offer 5 years - $4,000,000 (2015NTC)(2019) NT
2014 Statistics of three middle infielders Avg OPS Runs HRs RBIs SBs Player A .293 .744 85 7 75 14 Player B .278 .700 77 7 68 16 Player C .263 .647 72 2 41 27
All comparable players and middle infielders, Player C has more SBs, but is weaker in each of the other catagories.
Player A is Howie Kendrick and Player B is Erick Aybar, Player C is Elvis Andrus.
Kendrick and Aybar were each extended for $4,500,000, comparing the stats, I think a 5 year contract of $4,000,000 is fair for Andrus.
Thanks Pete - Rangers

I saw the contract number and was ready to say no, and then I saw the comparables and their re-sign numbers, and to that, I'll change my tune, since you make some good and valid points
2-0

This one is really close. $4m is too low IMO though, for a few reasons. Going off the numbers, I'd say 4.5m same as the others is about right. But those guys were 4-5 years older when they re-signed. Andrus put up those numbers at 25 not 30. I'm going to have to veto cause of that, he still has room for growth whereas those other contracts were taking into account their going into their decline phase. Considering that, I'm looking for something more like $5.5+.

Going to have to deny on similar grounds as White Sox. I don't think he can be resigned for less than Howie and Aybar even though stats are similar last year. For me it would need to be at least what Howie and Aybar got in their resigns yearly.
Denied (2-3)
