Why is it every MLB contract is guarenteed money? Seems lazy." I would think/hope Andy would accept that. “Is it too much to ask for Petitte for 12 mil plus incentives to make up the 4 mil?

He has pitched over 200 IP in 4 of the last 5 years. This makes him a solid #3. Can we get a #3 FA pitcher for $10m? One who has a 1 year contract? I think not. My guess is Andy is worth $12m-$13m on the open market. Andy has a career ERA+ of 117 (same as Wang)

Sheets is a risky signing but can be had for less than Burnett. Balance that risk with Pettitte who is a relatively safe bet to throw 200 innings in 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------ If Sheets goes done for surgery early, you end up paying 30 mil for nothing. More than one team has seen his medical reports and some have said an absolute NO, and some say they were ok. Patrick

Take it or leave it. He'd practically be the 4th, maybe even 5th starter, so that seems fair. I don't think he can get more than that anywhere else. At most, 13m for Pettite, IMO.
