Backe gets 1.5 million
I am in no way exaggerating when I state that Backe might be the worst staring pitcher in baseball. Frankly, I'm unsure how the Astros decided it was wise to tender him. Since 2004, Backe has been worth exactly 1 win. That's with 400+ innings of starting. Last three years: -0.5 wins.
Career worth: ~1.9 million.
2009 salary: ~1.5 million.
Heavens.

tommy john is a bitch.
his girlfriend is probably good for morale. i’d say she’s worth at least $137K to the club.
I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.
I'm guessing he's dating someone famous?

but if you listen to brandon backe
he’s the best pitcher out there.
I'll be the one overrating these Faberge' eggs, thank you very much!

one probably should have a degree of confidence in oneself, no?

Not if one is Brandon Backe
Many years from now, when his name's recalled
