Contract Crowdsourcing 2013-14: Paul Maholm

by
October 17, 2013

Free agency begins five days after the end of the World Series. As in other recent offseasons, FanGraphs is once again facilitating this offseason a contract-crowdsourcing project, the idea being to harness the wisdom of the crowds to the end of better understanding the 2013-14 free-agent market.

Note that, this year, in addition to asking readers to estimate the years/dollars each free agent is likely to receive, FanGraphs is also requesting that readers make note of how much they’d pay each free agent were they, themselves, actual GMs.

In this edition: Paul Maholm.

Some relevant information regarding Maholm:

  • Has averaged 168.0 IP and 1.5 WAR over last three seasons.
  • Has averaged 1.6 WAR per 180 IP over last three seasons.
  • Recorded a 0.7 WAR in 153.0 IP in 2013.
  • Is entering his age-32 season.
  • Made $6.5M in 2013, as part of deal signed before 2012 season.

Using the form below, estimate the years and average annual dollar values both likely and ought to be received by Maholm this offseason.
