Millwood had big signing bonus too.Yoda wrote:I think Hudson and Burnett had a high signing bonus and is not up there. Not sure whoelse is on that boat but... Seems like Escobar would be worth at least 9 based on this list if he remained healthy and keep up the same numbers he has so far (probably more from a bigger market team). But if he pitched extremely well the rest of the way which is possible, then he could have commanded at least another 2 per season I would think.

It just seems like a big risk to spend an average of $9.5 million a year on a 30 year old pitcher with a history of injuries. Did I mention he has only topped 200 innings once? I just didn't see him getting Burnett-like deal on the open market but like you said the rest of this year would have had a big influence on that.
