Question of the Day, 06/15

By Tangotiger, 09:46 AM

Q1: Today is Jun 15, 2009.  The following pitchers have all been declared free agents (yes, in the middle of the season), and you are lucky enough to have the most money available to sign one of these pitchers.  You are going to give them a 6-year contract.  How much would you give each one?

Cole Hamels (b. 1983)
Jair Jurrjens (b. 1986)
Stephen Strasburg (b. 1988)
Justin Verlander (b. 1983)
Chien-Ming Wang (b. 1980)

Q2: Same question, but today is Jun 15, 2008, and you have no knowledge of what has happened in the year that follows.
