I'm basing this on my memory of the original deal 4 years ago, so that may be wrong. Assuming this is true, one year of Pudge at $10 mil seems like a good deal to me, since I don't see an obvious better option out there. And as for Jones: I like that he gives us the option to be flexible with Zumaya and all in the 7th and 8th inning. I don't think you want your best relief pitcher to be the closer, and with Jones we have that. On a side note, read the Magglio comment from the following article: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=6757 Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling about Dombrowski A couple comments on this:
