Has 36 hits, 7 hrs, 23 rbi’s.

Owed $92 mil thru 2022!

Unbelievably he is hitting better this year than last. Trending up!

He's about to overtake our own beloved Kyle.

There was a stretch when he was hitting decently this season where MLB ran an article about what a serious contender he was for an All Star place

If Jeff Mathis can have a 13 year career, Zunino should be good for 20 even with those God awful numbers.

Looks like with D’Arnaud’s strong performance, especially against the Yankees, Zunino’s a backup.

After his best season in 2017, that's where Zunino should have been in the position where he could get himself a contract paying him close to ten million a year as at that point he was that valuable. Instead, in his sixth year he made 2.9 million and this year he's making 4.4. million. It's possible I'm being a bit ignorant, but considering he's not going to command much of salary next year (he's on a one-year contract), he might well have shortchanged himself out of a LOT of money. Maybe he should have hired Davis' agent.

All about Timing. Can literally mean well over $100MM difference depending on when you have your career year.

For one season Kevin Kouzmanoff, who while still an active major league player played with my league softball team (his brother was on our team), in his first four seasons was worth 7.7 bWAR which made him an above-average player, primarily defensively at third base. However, in his first three years he made a total of about 1.2 million and while he made about 7.9 million in his fourth and fifth seasons, he hurt his back in his fifth season and was essentially finished. He made about nine million in a career which probably carried a value at the time of, what, close to 25 million? That's a lot of bananas to leave up in the tree.
