The website FanGraphs provides many new statistics, from plate discipline stats, to replacement level stats to, to win probability added, etc. One of my favorite stats is dollar amount a player would make in free agency. So the current leader for fielders is Evan Longoria, and he would be worth $14.6 million dollars in the market.
So what would Mr. Ortiz deserve if he was in the open market right now? $-5.2 million dollars. Yep, he would have to pay someone over $5.2 million dollars for him to add any value to a team in free agency.
*If you have a few minutes and like stats, seriously play around in FanGraphs for a bit.
