Three different teams just fell over themselves trying to give a pitcher on the wrong side of 30 a 5-7 year deal for over $100MM, maybe it sounds too high to you, but you simply can not tell me that its not a good idea to ask for a lot, given the reality of the market.

Exactly, it is possible that we hang on for two years and by that time we have a couple young guys turn into studs and Greinke and his therapist decide to stay.
