Yeah, I agree Rocky. It would make the decision tougher if I wasn't in such good shape financially. I'm still probably taking the chance either way because Atterman's age makes it less risky imo, but it wouldn't have been the no-brainer risk that it was as a 1-year commitment.
I mean, he's really just entering the prime of his career. He's also pitching pretty well for Colorado thus far.
A whole lot of factors went into me offering the fallback.
1 The chance that somebody signed him at that price only having to give up a 5th round pick. I thought were pretty good ... Quite frankly, I would've done it.
2 If he wasn't signed, could I afford and be willing to pay him that much. Absolutely.
3 His age. 28 years old. There's a good chance, at a 2 year deal, you could be getting his best years.
4 His vitals are pretty decent, his health is good
