Yes, Pudge will get a lot of the credit if the Tigers turn it around. Pudge will also bear a disproportionate amount of the criticism if this team continues to lose. No one is going to chastise Vina or White for "taking the money" or "not caring about winning."
Pudge, as a high-profile, superstar in this league, has put himself out there more than anyone else on this team and will reap what he has sown. But don't get me wrong, for $10 million per, he won't be hurting too bad.
