Yeah, I'm sure the Yankees and other teams are sitting around saying, "well guys, the Royals gave Gil Meche $55 million two years ago, so that pretty much means we have to offer Sabathia $160 million."

No pitcher is worth 160 million. There are plenty of 1 million bargains that can throw 200 innings. Much wiser to spend more on hitting when pitching is so fragile.

That's not what I'm saying.

It's market inflation. Meche gets 11 Million? Johan's agent says "My player is twice that of Gil, give me 22 Million."

Whatever, I'm not going to blame the Yankees exclusively, it's a giant cluster that can only be fixed by a salary cap.

Re: Yanks offer to C.C. Sabathia:6 years, 160 million $

I think it's both.

At the time, they paid $11 million to a guy who was probably below average, and that helped lead to the market exploding for pitchers.

But it has turned out to be a good signing as he's had the best 2 years of his career in KC, being above average and giving them over 200 innings a year.

I'll agree with you there. Until there is a cap in place, these salaries are going to continue to rise as the big-money teams throw ridiculous jack at the top free agents.

Looks like Anaheim is ready to offer CC the same 6 yrs $140 mil the Yanks are offering.

They didn't even have to.

They could have probably gone $125 over 6 and still get CC over the Yankees.
