We paid Lackey 16 million a year starting at age 37, we only have to pay Darvish until he's 37. That's what I was rebutting

Your argument was that Darvish not performing this year means we're fucked for the duration of his contract. I proved to you that's not true on an AAV scale considering that despite being injured this year, the contract is set up for him to be a 2 WAR pitcher going forward.

Of course any player who is injured is not worth the money. KB is a waste of 10 million. Luckily for us, that's not how it works. Injuries are unpredictable and "projections" had Darvish being worth the money this year.

Luckily for us, the financial hit of this year does not carry over, making your argument and alarmism a bit useless
