MLB 2011-2012 Offseason Thread

Considering Edwin Jackson is making $10 mil this season, am I the only one who finds paying Burnett $8 million in 2013 a bit of an odd decision? I mean, maybe he does do well and puts up decent numbers (thinking an ERA of 4.5ish), but at $8 million? I dunno.

Excellent deal on the Yankees end that makes them better by subtraction. No longer do they have to wonder which Burnette they are going to get when he takes the mound, and $20 million to them is chump change. What an exceptional off season Cashman is having.
