4 year, 60 mil

Maybe a tad bit of an overpayment - but we have def upgrading our starting pitching this offseason.

Now let's see if we can get Sheets and Dunn!

Overpayed just a tad, but worth it. He'll be a really solid leader for our staff, that's for sure. If we can get Ben Sheets too, we just might have a chance at the playoffs next year. If we get Dunn I think we'll be in contention for the NL east again.

Excellent!

Derek has had 10 or more wins during the last seven seasons.

I'm now feeling better about the rotation, but the hitting still needs some holes filled, and we need a big bat.
