08:19 AM ET 01.04 | If the Yankees aren't happy with giving away the farm for Matt Garza, they could turn to Edwin Jackson. The Yankees and Jackson aren't in any way close to a deal. But there seems reason to think they might find middle ground, as the Yankees like his arm and see him as a solid pitcher who could fill their need for a durable middle-of-the-rotation presence. ... Jackson is believed to be looking for a deal that pays him in the $15-to-17-million range annually. Agent Scott Boras has compared Jackson to C.J. Wilson, Mark Buehrle, John Lackey, A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe in his book touting Jackson; all those pitchers received $14-to-17-million a year.

John Lackey, A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe were also big mistakes. And I believe CJ Wilson and to a lesser extent Mark Buehrle will also be. Next year you could have Hammels, Shields or Cain. Save your money.

That was exactly my thought when I read those names. They all got those dollars, but those contract were all horrible.
