++ Comment in regards to “Hall of Famers” not declining after age 30.
Ken Griffey - last 150+ season? 1998 - age 28. ++
Sigh.
Well, of course, Sandy, if you measure HOF'ers as a group and compare their age-34 seasons to their age-28 seasons, you're going to find that their age-28 seasons are better.
C'mon, though. You're trying to throw out Teixeira's first 4 seasons as irrelevant, limit the discussion to his second 4, and then cast that second 4 in its worst possible light.
The average of the 8 seasons -- not merely the last 4 -- is going to be what GM's are looking at. That's why he's getting 8/$190M.

Again, nobody expects the Mariners to be players in that price range. The question is moot.
