Is Brian McCann Worth 27.8m???
The Atlanta Braves agreed to terms with All-Star cather Brain McCann. McCann Who is just 23 years old agreed to a six year 27.8 million dollar deal,with a club option for 2013. This is the richest and longest Contract combo for the Braves since the Chipper Jones deal in 2000.
Super Gm John Schuerholz said: "We've got a special guy here and we recognize that, so we did something special,and We did something we don't normally do, because we don't ordinarily have players like this come along."
As you might imagine McCann's agent, B.B. Abbott was thrilled with the deal being signed.
"This is a great deal for both parties," Abbott said. "I was really blown away that the Braves were willing to do this. This isn't something that they've traditionally done with players who have one-plus years of service."
Reaction was one of happiness for McCann's teammates,Brian's long-time friend Jeff Francouer responded: "I'm just thrilled to death for Brian. He deserves it. He's worked hard."
So The question is Does McCann deserve this type of contract?
With that much money on the line are the Braves investing too much in an unproven commodity?
