I appreciate your response, thanks. The point I was trying to make with Lincecum, was that I feel Johnson at 14 million dollars on a one year deal looks pretty solid when compared to the deal Lincecum just signed in SF. The money that starting pitching is commanding now is just ridiculous - and I feel for 14 million dollars, why not give it to Johnson in the hope he can rebound with a healthy 2014. You aren't signing any of the top tier guys, unless you really overpay, and I mean REALLY overpay.
It's not that I have the extreme love for Josh Johnson - I just fail to see how they address their rotation for the same dollars Johnson would have commanded.
