get caught? Sounds like you are FBI or something and I'm a criminal C'mon ORS it is only a point of view. I have no problem with long term contracts. Avoid them is not the solution. Each case is different specially when they play different positions. Do not be surprised if they sign a big fish in 2013.
No problem at all. I'm just saying that their contracts/situations are different. I wouldn't compare them. If you want compare Adrian Gonzalez/Votto/Fielder/Pujols/Teixeria you probably could have a better case, but compare Lackey/CC/Pap contracts doesn't make sense to me. You are comparing apples with pears. If you think the opposite, it is your opinion and I respect it but I do not share it. And yes... they should learn from the past. I'm not sure if they have. They let walk a healthy/solid/proved closer and instead they brought an injury prone player. On the other hand the strategy/plan could work out as I said early. It depends how you want to see the glass.
