The only way Desmond's contract was in line with his production is if you use a pile of career WAR that he accumulated playing SS and CF - two positions he's likely never going to play for the Rockies. If he splits time between 1B and LF as he has this year, he'll never sniff that level of WAR again. He's an okay player and I think he'll contribute, but the Rockies overpaid. If he's productive I really don't care - it's Monfort's money, not mine - but the price tag was too high.
