find three guys who'll do that, is more of what i'm wanting if Baker/Marcum/Floyd want one-year deals to rebuild value, i'm all for it if Villanueva, McCarthy, Liriano want the security of a 3- or 4-year deal, i'd be happy to oblige (the assumption here is also that none of these guys will be commanding $10M AAV, but it's possible i'm low on a couple of these guys) I like Liriano, but I can't understand why you're happy to give him a 4 year deal but are limiting Baker/Marcum/Floyd to 1. that's just leverage, i assume his agent would be more receptive to take the security, whereas the other 3 guys have proven themselves more recently and might not go beyond a year; i'd probably take any of the previously mentioned names on 3+ year deals, if they're up for it, regardless of the gamble...what else are we going to do, just hope we find a 12-year-old fan who can hit 102 on the gun?
