So instead of letting a talented pitcher like Phil Hughes take his lumps, they would sooner give Big money to a guy like Burnett who will be dead money by the time that contract is up.

They have so much money that they could spend on scouting and player development that they could create a dynasty that would last a long time. They just cant take being mediocre for a year or two to get there.
the ironic part is that they are already mediocre. They never think ahead. sabathia is a very good pitcher NOW. He is fat and we are no longer in the steroid era. Pitchers will fall off as they age once again.
