FWIW, I like relievers that miss bats. Todd Coffey, when hes right, misses bats. Always good to keep around.
Good call CE. They know he needs some time and don't want to kill his confidence and undercut themselves. This doesn't really affect their commitment any, gets an arb case out of the way, and let's him focus on being a good major league pitcher, not worrying if he'll be one at all.
