MLB GMs Are Willing To Play Russian Roulette For Starting Pitchers This Winter

Or why not to go to Vegas with some of the more desperate general managers.

Maybe it is the end times when you see what some of the teams are willing to spend on proven and even unproven starting pitchers (Garza, Tanaka, etc.). I can understand paying pitchers with sound mechanics like Kershaw, C. Lee, Verlander, and a few others what they are worth ("fair"market value)...they are less likely to break down and can be projected to have lengthy careers, but the majority of free agent pitchers that are available this winter DO NOT fit in that category. Yet, they are probably going to see a big pay day because the GMs have over valued their worth and are driving the prices higher with the bidding wars. It is a very predictable outcome when you know what's going to happen to these pitchers next season. I just had to get this off my chest as I've reached my frustration level already with this winter's hot stove league.

Common sense & good judgment are dead, and insanity reigns in MLB.
