Interesting Article from BA

I was scrolling through my favorite blogs and found this very interesting article.
To me, most of the signings shown had results I expected. Anytime you sign a pitcher over 30 to a multi-year deal you are asking for trouble. The major reason I was glad the Indians didn't sign Kevin Millwood. Signing them to a one year deal is safe, but extended contracts for pitchers for small market teams are a no-no. Just look at A.J. Burnett, the BlueJays took a big risk signing him to the deal they did. He may be 28, so relatively younger than the pitchers in the study, but we are talking about a pithcer with a history of injuries.

The guys at Baseball Analysts always do a great job of giving sabermetric orienteted information, and they give great insight on college baseball and prospects. I would recommend adding their blog to your bookmarks.
