Does anyone happen to know what Elliotte's track record is for predicting free agent numbers?

Without looking anything up, my guess would be that his predictions are usually higher than what the player actually signs for because he'll be getting fed those numbers by the agents and the agents are trying to pump up their own clients.

So, if he's saying $5 million x 6 years (or $6 million x 5 years), should we assume the actually numbers will come in slightly lower?
