Horrible contract? He's making less than Buehrle, Garland AND Javy. That will continue throughout the length of the contract. It will either be less or about the same as the others. Considering the market, and when they signed him to the extension, it's not a bad contract.
Contreras' era is like 2 runs higher than those guys right now. Those 3 are also in the prime's of their careers while JC is clearly declining and his stuff is no where near what it was. It didn't look awful when we signed him to it but I don't want 20 million dollars of a 5 era pitcher on my team.
