Because $5mil for a guy who has a ton of experience and will be at least a 2 down player for us is NOT some horrible deal. Like I said, we've been paying Misi $4-5mil a year to do nothing.
In regards to how the deal for Timmons should have been structured? Well ****, of course I'd prefer a 1 year deal or less guarantees or whatever, but the guy earned the deal he got, which was A LOT less than everyone expected him to get. His deal was fine, and $5-6mil/year for 2 years is hardly a HUGE overpay for a player being penciled in as a starter.
