 Radke Re-Signs -- The Hardball Times
Radke pitched the most innings of the four, had the lowest ERA when you account for ballparks and leagues, and dwarfed their overall production in Value Over Replacement Player, Runs Saved Above Average, Win Shares, and Win Shares Above Average (plus a whole bunch of other metrics with cool names too, I'm sure).
If anyone in that group deserved a third year on his contract and another year of guaranteed millions, it is most certainly Radke, and the fact that he's the one guy locked up for just two more seasons says all you need to know about his desire to remain in Minnesota.
The other interesting thing about Radke's new deal is that it is nearly identical to his last contract, signed prior to the 2001 season, which paid him $36 million over four years.
