That contract is a done deal so no point in continuing to argue it.
I don’t think that people are arguing about the contract. Most of us are just discussing the output from the firs base position and if Votto stays at his current level or regresses even more, where’s the cutoff limit and is there a cutoff limit. First base is traditionally a very strong hitting position. The Reds need to pick up an extra 15 homers and 50 RBI over league average at SS, CF and C just to replace production that Votto isn’t producing.
