That's a flyer contract, and a pretty damn nice one at that. Would you rather have Lidge at $1 million than Broxton at $4 million?
Seems like the Royals jumped the market a little bit.

There's a very large age difference. Lidge should be just about done with baseball, so he's not worth the money Broxton could expect to get.
Its possible that we may have overpaid Broxton a little bit though, but DM prefers to fill needs early, taking the risk that maybe the market was softer than you'd expect than see all the free agents get signed and left with no good option.
