I've yet to see a long contract for a hitter work out and there's a huge growing list of players not performing through their entire contract. There's only been a couple long contracts that have actually worked out for the team and they're all pitchers that come to mind (Scherzer/Lester for the most part).
I'll side with the facts until a hitter proves otherwise and disagree with whoever thinks he can remain durable for the contract.
The contract A-Rod signed with the Rangers worked out. I think it was 10yr/250m but he was probably younger than Betts than the time.
Been a lot of fails like Pujols, Cabrera, Fielder, Mauer, Tulowitski
