Joe Millionaire
On Monday, the Twins and Joe Nathan signed a 4 year, $47 million dollar contract - which makes him the second highest paid closer in baseball. Since that translates to roughly $275,000 every time he trots onto the field, I started to wonder if that was it worth it?
I played with some data, and decided that the answer is yes. #36 has converted 92% (160 of 174) of save opportunities over the past four years, which is best in baseball according to my analysis (see both tabs in spreadsheet).
See you on Opening Day!Labels: baseball, spreadsheet, twins
