That's a long, long time.
Albert accumulated 89.9WAR in St L, averaging 7.9 per year over his eleven years there. That was $1.2M per Win.
He then signed a ten year player contract with the Angels. During the first eight years of that contract he's totaled 13.7WAR, averaging 1.7 per year. That's been $13.2 per Win.
And Albert is not 5'9" (which is apparently a bad thing to be according to some)
Chaim is NOT going to go down as the man who chained Boston (chaimed?) Boston to any one ball player with his first major move. I don't think he is genetically capable of doing it.
