I don't understand this line of reasoning. The team would have this entire year to learn if Sammy was truly always injured or just a victim of bad luck. Even the most ardent Sammy fan like myself, IF he gets hurt and misses a good amount of time this year, would not advocate signing him to a huge salary. But if he's proved this year to stay healthy and was the player we know he can be, then and only then do you sign or franchise him. Saying we don't know if he's can stay healthy is ridiculous. We would have a full year.
