Lol Kipnis is still better. He's a better hitter, better fielder and better base runner. Schoop is better at making lots of outs so I guess that's where your argument is from.
And yes, contacts are back loaded, but not to the ridiculous extent you insinuated. Machado isn't going to take 15 mil a year for the first 3 years. That's absurd when he's probably gonna make 25 to 30 mil a year. You're thinking he'll take half that when somebody will happily pay it upfront if ridiculous.
