It's a good deal if he saves 40-50 games too.

Why? What if they stupidly and incessently use him in save situations
and he saves 40+ games with a 4.80 ERA and lots of blown saves. In
that case they will have spent big money for something dozens of
pitchers could easily do for less than 10% of his salary.

Of course. But we're both dealing in a lot of IFS there. I'm just pointing out that they aren't paying that money assuming he'll be bad. I'm not saying it was a smart move. Sheesh. WTF do you think they were hoping for? To look like idiots?
