Pay scales are out of hand

The Red Sox just signed Shane Victorino to a $37,500,000 three year contract.  He's played for three different teams.  He's 32 with a career batting average of .275; last year it was .245.  He is not a home run hitter, having hit only 90 in his 10 year career.  Basically, he appears to be someone on his way down who has been an average player.  How is he worth $12,500,000 a year or $80,000 a game?

He's a pretty good player. decent signing for them, especially allows them to trade ellsbury to get pitching prospects and victorino will be gone in 3 years
