When you are paying him to be a 3-5WAR type player yes i do have an issue with it. However like i said before however. The Jays had a way better core and were in position to make a run for another year or 2 (never know what happens in 94). This year V-Mart does not put you over the top. You likely have to had 1-2 more other solid signings to put them over and i don't think the money is there to get 2-3 solid players. I think you have to address your primary need which is 2nd or OF and be smart about your other additions whether that is trades or low risk signings (Chris Denorfia).
