<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->And I'm not debating that. This deal made me think about Hendry's backloading proclivities. And because Hendry's legacy will not ONLY be backloading, I mentioned the two main things that people gripe about. The Byrd deal relates, probably, to only the first.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Fair enough. But then let me ask this. Why is backloading something that anyone should gripe about (I'm speaking to everyone, not just Ace)?

In almost every case, backloading is BENEFICIAL to the team paying the contract. In most (not all) cases, a dollar 2 years from now will be worth less than a dollar right now. In most cases (not all), a team's budget will be higher in 2 years than it is now. Furthermore, if the Cubs wanted to, they could take the 2 million they are saving this year (People always seem to bitch about the back end of the contract, yet never seem to celebrate the fact that the front end is very light), invest it, and help defray the cost of the 2012 portion of the contract.

I don't see how backloading is a bad thing, from the team (as opposed to the players) perspective.
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
