I'd rather have Skubal, but the playoffs are still largely a crapshoot. Kershaw, the greatest pitcher of his era, didno do much in the playoffs. Skubal lost the deciding game last year. You do want to have whatever playoff advantage you can get though (and elite starting pitching is probably the best way to do that). I like the four year $160 million idea. I hope those kinds of contracts become more popular. It's not the money that makes long-term contracts terrible. It's the years.
