Day's talent has never been a question. The problem is his head. As you
pointed out, he's had a streak of good games to showcase himself. First
- -streak is the story of his career. Second, why the devil is giving security
to a guy who's always been streaky and who you now believe is only playing
well for a contract to the Cs benefit? If anything, it would be
counterproductive.
Cs should be able to find a better use for the money, but ML being ML he
probably agrees with you and will reward him with 5 years at $5 million per.
