I probably write about Nick Markakis too much. I cannot help that I have a propensity to write about really good baseball players. So stop judging me. But while I am an unapologetic Markakis fan, I am also a realist. Allow me to explain.
Let me begin by saying this – Nick Markakis is worth what the Atlanta Braves are paying him. This is a common argument among fans: “Nick Markakis is not worth $11 million.” This is simply not true.
To clarify, no baseball player is worth millions of dollars in my opinion, but relative what baseball players are already being paid, Nick Markakis is worth $11 million per year.
