Is Mark Beuhrle over paid?

I feel like it’s almost sacrilegious to bring this up, but it might be time to look at Mark Beuhrle’s latest contract. After the 2007 season he signed a 5 year 71 million dollar contract. At the time this looked like a fair enough contract and Beuhrle was only two seasons removed from a terrific playoffs in which he anchored the White Sox rotation to a world series. He’s won 31 games so far in this contract, while making 42 million dollars through three complete seasons. I know there is a premium on starting pitching in the free agent market, (see Lackey, John). Still Beuhrle is at this stage in his career no more than a number three starter. Pair that with the fact that they’re paying Jake Peavy 48 million over three years that’s a large chunk of cash to give to one middle of the rotation guy and another guy that just underwent major arm surgery. Fortunately, they Gavin Floyd, John Danks and Edwin Jackson are on relatively inexpensive contracts. Still when you have over 100 million dollars committed to two starting pitchers you have to be able to count on them for at least 30 wins per season over the life of the contracts.  Furthermore, 14 million dollars is just too much for a starting pitcher that will only go for 12 to 13 wins with an era right around 4.
