It's always good to be reminded of all the people I hate here.

 

Calm down Guy. There's no need for that kind of Poison.

That's a nice AAV, but 6 years for an uncertainty? Yeesh.

 

Also, this tidbit was ridiculous:

 

According to Yahoo's Jeff Passan, the Dodgers payroll is now higher than the GDP of at least four countries.

Including the posting fee as part of the AAV, that's now 8 Dodger starting pitchers on the payroll for over 100 million for 2013.

They'll trade one or both of Capuano and Harang. In this market, either on a one year deal could net them a relatively decent return. With Billingsley iffy, not to mention Kershaw and Lilly both coming back from injury as well, going after Sanchez or Lohse seems possible.
