How the hell did Matt Harvey get $11 million from the Angels?

So I was thinking about the Free Agent market and….

HOW THE HELL DID MATT HARVEY GET $11M FROM THE ANGELS?  Plus another potential 3 million in incentives

Look at these pictures I am sprinkling in…does any of this look $11M to you?

 

There’s a really good chance that I saw more Matt Harvey innings than anyone on the Angels last season.

Matt was…OK.   He cannot take a punch, same as when with the Mets.  Oh sure he’s fine in a 1-2-3 inning but if ANYTHING deviates…a walk, a ROE, a hit….the wheels come off and be on the lookout for a 4 spot.

If I had to bet my life on game, I would not bet it on 5 innings and maybe 4 runs.   With a lot of those outs being recorded 380 feet from home plate.

What did you do Angels?  I totally get taking a chance on the guy – although he’s not exactly Mr. Clubhouse – but ELEVEN MILLION?

Sorry Angels, you got Boras’d.  Hard.   I am looking forward to a summer of TDKoala recaps.
