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.

Should have included a question about how many millions in incentives his contract will have. Halladay will undoubtedly sign a 1 year low annual value, incentive laden deal. My prediction 5 Mil base salary with up to 10 Mil in incentives. Id even take a gamble on him and give him 1 year deal with 5 Mil base salary and up to 15 Mil in incentives based on IP and Cy Young votes received.
