Matt Cain’s BB-Ref page:
So, let me get this straight. Matt Cain = $240, Ryan Theriot = $310. What kind of sick, sad world do we live in?

After posting this, friend of the blog Wendy tweeted me this link — it’s a study by Ben Lindbergh of Baseball Prospectus on these very Baseball-Reference sponsorship prices. It’s worth a read, and it’s free.
It's a fun way to support a pretty useful site. The guys at Raising Matt Cain gave away that said sponsorship at $240. Without checking can you guess the guy they grabbed instead? Hint: he's on the 40-man.
Probably has to do with the fact that he was in St Louis last year and they kind of won the World Series. Not to mention Matt Cain is on the West Coast and people forget that we exist out here at times
