Look at Adrian Gonzalez - minor backload.
Crawford - fairly significant backload
Beckett - Backloaded in his original deal, static in his new one
Youkilis - backloaded
Pedroia -
heavily backloaded
Lester -
heavily backloaded
Yeah - looks like Epstein makes it a habit of backloading those deals because they make a lot of economic sense...
Oh wait, John Lackey was a free agent with several suitors and his agent insisted on more money up front for a slightly lower AAV.
Stupid !@#$ing facts. Why do they have go to making your argument look stupid all the time...
