I think it would be disingenuous to say that Baertsch is still a 1.85M dollar player. At his current production rate, I think most fans would have him at $4-$4.5M.
Also, I never said he was worth $6M. Geez, it seems absolutely impossible to say anything about Eriksson without fans clinging to their anger about the $6M number. It's a bad deal, everyone acknowledges that. That aside, he's been better this year, which for some reason, no one wants to acknowledge through their blind hatred.
