Because the market (set by Garcia and others) for a pitcher of Benson's caliber is 7-8 million |

Garcia also pitched in one of the better hitters park in the AL. Benson would be lucky to have a 5.20 there. |

Also, at the time he signed he was in the middle of a very good season. |

your joking right?? garcia signed his extension right after he was dealt from the mariners. so they were looking at his stats from one of the greatest pitching parks in baseball. |

Garcia signed the extension very quickly after being dealt to the ChiSox. |

Yeah, I guess so, even though freddy Garcia has had a way better career than Benson. |

The market seems ridiculously high this year. Cory Lidle had a mediocre season yet got two years with over 3M per. I think Ryan Dempster is making 2M. Russ Ortiz would be a pretty smart signing, it seems as if he's being undervalued. He'd be a fine 3rd/4th starter instead of Leiter. |

maybe but he walks everything. He'll make the same as Benson. |

I agree Timo. Look at his stats. All he does is win, year after year after year. btw/ if you compare Ortiz's stats to Clement or Benson, it's no contest. Clement may have great "stuff", but he doesn't win! Benson also is under .500 for his career. :rock: |

Ortiz has always been on good teams though. He walks way too many guys and has a 4.00 career ERA. |

Winning is relative to a million different circumstances. It shouldnt mean much overall |

So why not just sign Anna benson? She'd be considerably cheaper. |
