Drew Carey: Hi, everybody! Welcome to the show. Alright, alright. Let's get to our first prize, good luck everybody!

Announcer: We're going to start off with this looovely centerfielder! Brighten up your outfield with a 29 year old leadoff hitter. He was worth 6.4 wins above replaaaaacement in 2012, stole 42 bases, while playing excellent deeeefense! This Michael Bourn could be yours, iiiiiiif the price is riiiiight!

Drew: This prize goes to who gets closest to the actual retail price with out going over. Let's start with you, Frank.

Frank Wren: 1 year, 13.3 million.

Scott Boras: 8 years, 175 million.

Drew: Uh... that's more than Matt Kemp made, are you sure you want to bid that much?

Scott: I feel that the skill set my client provides is invaluable to any organization, and he would be a steal at that price.

Drew: Well, he's going to be 30 soon, and most of his value comes from his legs. Haven't we seen these kinds of long term contracts for speed first outfielders not really work out so well? I mean, look at Carl Crawford for crying out loud.

Scott: *glowers*

Drew: Okay. How about you, Mark?

Mark Shapiro: 4 years, 48 million!

Dayton Moore: Cranberries!

Drew: Um, "cranberries" isn't a number, Dayton.

Dayton: *stares blankly at the stage and chews on microphone*

Drew: Whatever. We'll just put you down for 1 dollar. Actual retail price is... $48 million! Mark come on up here!

Good to have you on, Mark. Where are you from?

Mark: *jumping in the air over and over again* OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD! Hi, Grandma! I'm on The Price is RIIIIGHT!!!! AAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!

Drew: Okay, okay. Settle down, Mark. Where are you from?

Mark: CLEVELAND! WOOOOO!

Drew: Hey, great! Well, we have a great first prize, and I think you might like it. George, tell him what it is.

Announcer: It's a NEEEWWWWW PITCHING ROTATION!

Mark: Oh, wow! I need one soooo bad! The one I have this year is only projected to be be 6 wins above replacement. All of them! Combined! It's terrible!

Drew: Well, we are going to play Cliffhangers, and see if we can't get you that new rotation!
