Gotta go with Other: Chris Young. His peripherals have been poor, but the results have been hard to argue with for 700k

Price sounds right. Are you an accountant for the Yankees?

I would also vote other in favor of Franklin Gutierrez in Seattle.

Both Chris Youngs could have warranted inclusion, and an “Other” option probably would’ve made sense. I always miss something in these polls.
But Gutierrez signed a minor league deal, and I wasn’t considering those.

How is Anderson a deal at all? His performance and WAR say the Dodgers paid market rate.

because when you sign a player with only the one season for which they’re signed on the mind, you don’t care about peripherals, you care about actual results. The more results-based bWAR has Anderson at 2.1. Not to mention the fact that the season isn’t over yet. Also, $10M is less money to the Dodgers than to any other organization in baseball or probably even American pro sports. They have the highest 2015 average annual salary in American sports (Source: ibtimes.com/highest-payrolls-sports-psg-real-madri…). They are paying $87.5M to players who are on different teams (Source: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/dodgers-paying–87-5-million-to-players-no-longer-with-the-team-224421469.html). $10M is next to nothing to Dodgers’ ownership.
