Neifi was signed to a 2 year 5 mil contract after the '05 season. Cubs had him in '05 for about 1 mil. Neifi did carry the Cubs in sept '04 and he was much more valuable than his OPS+ in '05. It is hard to argue in favor of the 2/5 contract. However, I liked Neifi and I think it is worthwhile for a big payroll,contending team to pay that much for a solid back up middle infielder.
At the time I was fine with the both the Perez and Miles deals. Both of them had very bad years, however Hendry was able to unload both of them without much damage done.
