Lowe will be extremly OVERPAID as well wherever he goes. As a sidenote on Lowe, I had a friend up in Boston when he pitched their that didn't allow him in a bar as a bouncer. Varitek and Lowe were bar-hopping, and Lowe didn't have ID, and he was having a terrible year. He let Varitek in, and told Lowe to get an ID. Didn't go over very well...
CC would have done himself a lot of good by staying in the NL. He was getting shelled on his way out of the AL, after Boston put the playbook out on him. I was shocked at how many bad pitches were swung at in the NL, that the AL had learned to sit on. He was no doubt dealing for Milwaukee, but he was benefitting big time by facing a league of hitters that had never seen him before.
Burnett's deal is laughable. I just can't see paying a guy that much with his injury history, and win-loss record for his career.
Can't wait to see what position players they target now....
