I ran some quick math myself and think that it is probably closer to 2%, but still, that is significant, and well worth it for the yankees. To the rest, while crawford or even werth in 2011 might be worth it, it woulda been interesting to see them offer 35 mil for one year. An over pay for sure, but it's then clear that the player is giving up a guaranteed 80 mil over 5 years for the chance to make 35 mil year one, and then maybe 15 mil a year for 4 years (the first year of holliday should be his most valuable as its nearest to his peak?), but that's an outside the box move i dont think we will see. pepe, i agree with you. while i had posted my concession in a different post earlier, you fleshed out the numbers, i saw your 3% number and thought that felt about right.

The most recent decade, or period of 10 years, would run from 2000 through 2009. Starting your decade at 2001 makes no sense, inasmuch as that "decade" would only encompass 9 years, unless you're already counting 2010. Since none of us can predict with certainty who will win the 2010 WS, you are effectively not speaking of a decade, but of the period of the last 9 years, if you start your decade at 2001.
