  1. It's nice to be a mediocre situational lefty. $7.5 million for 2 years. If he finishes with the same amount of innings that he did last season he will make more than $50,000 per inning pitched.

  2. I actually like the signing because Jim Hendry had to trade Heilman to make room which was good. Heilman stunk last year but I do think they might of overypay a little but there arent a lot of lefty set-up man in baseball or this free agency.
