That would start him at about 14.5 mil with 8% raises looking like:

14.5
15.8
17.0
18.2

It's a bit on the higher end on what I'd prefer but it's a tradeable contract. And if Grimes performs the way I think he will, the contract might end up looking like a steal.

My random guess was off by .5 mil.  I am more comfortable with giving him that contract than I was giving Green his, and that turned out to be a (small) asset.  He is clearly healthy and I think him getting shut down last season was more of a mutual decision than any serious concern regarding his knees.  I agree it could turn into a steal.
