  I'd say Dice-K is the most expensive number 3 starter ever. And at the moment, Andy's number 2 in the rotation, behind Wang.

    Also worth noting that DK was just 26 this year, and is likely to improve substantially as he gets used to the game as it's played here.

      Improving substantially is a far cry from 100 plus million dollars.
      
      Andy was 24 when he became a regular starter, more than 200 wins later, 7 Pennants, and 4 Rings later, I don't think he's made $100 million.

  Maybe splitting hairs, but Dike-K's salary is just under nine a season, but you double that considering what his transfer fee (or whatever name they made up) was. However, Pettitte's full salary counts towards the cap, that transfer fee for Dice-K didn't.
  
  And I'm considering Pettitte a #3 next year, Gonzoball.
