Could be worth 6 million tells me it's gauranteed for less. If he doesn't work out I would guess it's a pretty pain free cut after year 1. Although with the collective bargaining agreement up in the air it's impossible to say. I'm still curious as to why they did three years though. It might just be a way for the agent to make it sound like he got his client a much better deal than he really did.


He's had a few years in the league to grow into the position (something I strongly believe is necessary at this position) so we could be getting him at the right time. Who knows?

This is one of those signings that I see a bunch of people getting upset about as being just another guy. That's what you are going to get this time of year. If he steps it up and upgrades the line play it's a great deal. If all he does is provide decent depth in the rotation then it's a solid signing. Not every free agent signing has to be, or can be, a home run.
