Yes. 7/$161m for guy who became totally useless practically overnight. He did have a decent 2016 in the first year of that deal, then he just lost it. It’s hard to find any contract even close. I’m not sure why they haven’t cut him at this point? I guess the O’s don’t know much about sunk cost.That is the worst one ever right there, without question
HOLY SHIT.-6.3 WAR in his last 4 seasons. His best WAR over that span is -0.6. Take out his 2013 and 2015 seasons and he'd have a career WAR of -0.9

Coming into 2021, Miggy has 487 homers and 2866 hits. He hopes to reach 500 homers and 3000 hits this year. If he makes those milestones, will he be a Hall of Famer?
9th in the AL in hitting. Doesn't have the power but dude can just flat out hit.
Aaron Boone was on to something back in April.9th in the AL in hitting. Doesn't have the power but dude can just flat out hit.
raking is a stretch. he's a DH with a .347 OBP (which is good for 2022, but not spectacular) and he's slugging a lowly .372 despite that .308 BA, so it's a rather empty average.

It's enough to have his OPS+ in a very respectable spot at 39
No one is accusing him of being anything close to what he was but the fact he's hitting over 300 with the shitty protection (until Riley greene came up) is a testament to how good he is and was. The dude has straight humbled himself and committed to finishing his career with his head up instead of slumping out the door.
I mean we are talking all time worst offensive numbers through like mid June for Detroit. They're finally kicking it up though.
Since this post he has hit below .100. I honestly thought he may have been able to leg out the final season but it's clear injuries and time have piled on.
Time to hang em up bud. And immediately become the hitting coach.
Aren't you on the hook for another big paycheck for him next year? Why would he stop playing unless you cut him? And if you do, he could go be a hitting coach wherever he wants.

credit to you for even bumping this. I forgot this thread existed.
Glad he was able to crack 500 home runs and 3000 hits. He was an incredible hitter.
Yeah, I’d like to see them come to an agreement where he can get his money and stay in uniform. But not need to be on the roster.One of the best pure hitters ever. His poor defense shoves him down the WAR rankings but he's a top 25ish all time hitter.
Would like to see him go out with some dignity. I understand 32 mil is 32 mil. Maybe they can have some kind of behind the scenes save face where they cut him and only the stat nerds (me) know he is still getting his dough. Honestly he earned it anyway.
