He is subpar pitcher with career losing record and high ERA. His WHIP is one of the highest of any active major leaguer and it did not even decline much last year. Its possible he's a late bloomer, but its more likely he is just a one year wonder (see Esteban Loaiza)and this contract will go be a huge burden in the future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510778742912502890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259025587922523478.post-74076336582565456772008-11-18T23:05:00.000-06:002008-11-18T23:05:00.000-06:00@Anonymous: Have you ever heard of Major League Ba...@Anonymous: Have you ever heard of Major League Baseball? Barry Zito makes 132 million and thats not even the worse contract out there. I am not saying anyone is WORTH 60 million, I'm predicting what he would get on the open market. If AJ Burnett is looking at a 5 year/80 million dollar deal, surely Dempster would get 4 years/60 million from someone.Stormin' Norman Disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037829909818033232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259025587922523478.post-22327357430021430972008-11-18T22:47:00.000-06:002008-11-18T22:47:00.000-06:00Theres no way anyone would have given dempster 60 ...Theres no way anyone would have given dempster 60 million. 52 Mil is a ton considering hes had ONE good season as a starter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259025587922523478.post-5991041249707013052008-11-18T18:45:00.000-06:002008-11-18T18:45:00.000-06:00Toby Hall is much more clutch with shaving cream p...Toby Hall is much more clutch with shaving cream pies, putting so much effort into it that it was rumored he had torn his rotator cuff punking Jermaine Dye. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, his "Chris Farley as Matt Foley" impersonation is a sight to behold.<BR/><BR/>Somehow I don't see him making over $3 million a year.
