Crabtree Contract Prediction Game

I know that there have been myriad Crabtree-related posts recently, but the whole contract stalemate has dragged on long enough that we might as well find some way to have some fun with it.  So I give you the Crabtree Contract Prediction Game!  The rules will try to follow those of the weekly Prediction Game. This Game assumes that Crabtree will sign before the November 17 deadline (maybe a bogus assumption, but we'll make it for the purposes of having some fun). 

 

 

 

Star-divide

You need to predict four things:

a) the date Crabtree will sign

b) the amount of guaranteed money Crabtree signs for (in millions of dollars)

c) the total base value of the contract Crabtree signs (again, in million of dollars)

d) the potential value of the contract Crabtree signs with incentives



Remember to take into account the length of the contract you think he'll sign.  So if you think he'll sign a 4 year deal, adjust the length of the contract down, or if a 6 year deal, adjust it up.

Your score will be determined by how close you are to the actual date he signs, and the amount of difference between your dollar predictions and what he actually signs.  Whether you're over or under on your prediction doesn't matter. 


For example, if I predict that he signs Monday (Oct 5) and he signs on October 10, that'd be 5 points.  If I predict he'll sign for $16 mill guaranteed and he signs for $18 that'd be 2 points.  If I predict he'll sign for a base amount of $24 and he signs for a base salary of $23, that'd be 1 point.  If I'm right on i predicting a total max value with incentives of $27, and his contract could go up as high as 30, that would be 3 points.  That would make a total of 11 points.  The lower the score, the better.  If there are tie-breakers necessary, it will come down to the decimal points in the millions of dollars on the guaranteed and maximum amounts of the contract.

So?  What are your thoughts?  Contest closes on Tuesday, October 6

You MUST format your answer like this:

Date: October 5

Guaranteed: 16

Base Salary: 24

Maximum: 27

My Prediction

We’ve all already lost.

Contract Amount Figures: Who Cares.
Potential 2009 Production: About Nothing
Opportunity Costs: Through the {site decorum} roof

by bignerd on Oct 3, 2009 11:07 PM PDT reply actions  

No Deal

1. Goes back into the Draft.
2. No trade, why when you can get him w/o trading.
3. He ends up a bust !

Shouldn't lenth of contract be noted?

I mean a contract with any of these numbers is going to seem kinda foolish at 4 years but possibly reasonable at 6.

Maybe I am wrong...

but isn’t everyone’s base salary way too high?

My picks

Date: 10/19
Guarantee: 17 million
Base: 27 million

I predict that the compromise we reach is to give him a four year contract but pay him less guaranteed money than he wants.

Crabtree Contest

DATE: Never (I hope)
GUARANTEE: $ 0
BASE: Basic Unemployment
MAXIMUM: 26 weeks
I never want to see that diva in red and gold. If the Niners sign him, I hope that they trade his greedy but as soon as they can.

by Jabberwokky on Oct 5, 2009 9:40 AM PDT reply actions  

Forget him

Too much of a Headache.. Let him go back in the draft and be somebody elses headache. I say this off season we make a big bid for a Proven Warrior in Boldin.. He could be our future #1.. =)

by Degenerate on Oct 5, 2009 11:30 AM PDT reply actions  

I really don’t think he will sign with us, I think we will trade him for a #2 and #4 pick, but that wouldn’t be fun in this game so here is my picks
Date: October 14

Guaranteed: 17.5

Base Salary: 28

Maximum: 32

by 49RFAN on Oct 5, 2009 12:17 PM PDT reply actions
