Hmmmm.... that makes it even more difficult to trade Matusz.

Agree.

[Ripken]

Matusz 3.2m

Wieters 8.3m

Davis 12m

Hunter 4.65m

Three of those four seem like over payments and that's not counting Matt, whose status is in question.

[LookitsPuck]

Matusz for $3.2m is asinine.

Who is agreeing to these settlements. No way I would pay Chris Davis 12 million after the season he had last year. I don't see how they couldn't have gotten him for 10 million in arbitration.

Also Matusz, I would just have released before agreeing to that. Hunter 4.65 million? Oh well I wonder if Brady is now in charge of this.

First time arbitration eligible or not, that sounds pleasantly cheap for what Tillman has provided the last three seasons.

The problem is a higher base leads to higher rewards latter in the process.

I am very interested in what Britton gets as a super 2.

I think the Davis number is fair.

Hunter and Matusz, well I don't like paying bullpen guys.

Second highest first year of all time. David Price got more.

Agree with your opinion concerning Davis and Matusz. That is silly. But it isn't my money!

For a starting pitcher.
