Some people think a future contract will be two-tiered--
$350M for being a hitter, and then an incentive bases contract for his pitching. So if he does little pitching, it would be a far cry from the $500M he was expected last week.
As for whether or not this changes the odds that he will be with Angels is hard to tell. I think that more teams will feel they have a shot because he has become slightly more affordable, but others think the injury pushes him back to the Angels, because of the uncertainty other teams will have.
