And I clearly remember me and others talking about his one huge year shouldn't earn him a ridiculous contract. But I also remember being quite happy when we resigned him because we needed the pitching and he is a stand up guy. I wish we signed him to a 3 yr / 30 M deal instead of the 4 yr / 52 M deal, but I can't say it was horrible signing.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The guy has been dealing with a lot. This contract may yet seem like a good deal.
