some might disagree
Plus, wasn't the reason we didn't sign him was because the M's didn't want to do a 5-year deal?? The M's were looking more for a 3 or 4 year deal. What was the problem with going 5 years?? If your willing to give Jose Vidro 3 years, I don't see the what's so bad about giving Kevin Willwood 5 years.

Let's put it this way.
Batista 3 @ 24
Vs:
Millwood: 5 @ 60
Millwood will a good shot to be a big giant pile of suck by year 5 of his deal, but Millwood+Baek or Generic Replacement 5th Guy > Washburn+Batista, and the Mariners will be spending almost 20 million a year through 2009 on two guys you'd expect to have a 4.50-5.00 ERA in a neutral park/neutral defense scenario.

FIP and xFIP
League average is 5.00, these are 2006 stats...
Millwood pRA: 4.61
Wasbburn pRA: 4.99
Only after shifting the numbers around to account for luck does any real difference appear, and I'm not really comfortable in dismissing a bunch of data by throwing it back towards league average.
Millwood pRA*: 4.49
Washburn pRA*: 5.27

But seriously, for the price of Weaver, Guillen, and Vidro, we could have Millwood and Snelling and Broussard.

Watch out conspiricy theory
Felix pitches...
Felix dominates...
Felix watches 4 other pitchers...
Felix sad. Felix sees Weaver sucks most. Felix hates losing.
Felix ponders...
Many moons pass, then there is a mysterious forearm injury. Baek comes up and pitches mediocre but all it takes to replace Weaver a batting practice pitcher who doesn't throw tennis balls.

Graphic summary - Who would you Rather have facing Texas, Felix whith his 4.something career ERA and losing record or Baek and his winning record and sparkling ERA (against Texas).
