won't hanley be in his prime when his contract is up...a lot of the stud pitchers did that a couple years ago...santana, sheets and there were one or 2 others that I was shocked that they signed the deal when the yanks or redsox would have about doubled what they were making. Most of the deals were expiring when they were in there prime. Hanley will be 30 when the deal is up. He will then probably get a megaton deal for 6 - 8 years.
Kinda suprised that hanley decided to stay with the marlins though. One of the big knocks on him when he was in the sox minor league system, is when there weren't anyone in the stands (lower level games) he didn't play as well, and didn't put much effort into it while games with packed stands it was like he was a different player. Regardless even in the games with the stands were empty he still had incredible numbers.
