I think the ones you throw big money at are more consistent and your keep it to a 2 year deal max.

I'm positive you haven't noticed, but the BP arms being traded recently are not guys who were recently signed to big FA contracts.

I'll let you ponder why that is...good luck.

A bud light and some skittles. What team would give up value for Johnson? Some team advised by Dave Stewart.
