Like the signing. Won't need Tommy John surgery any time soon with four years of not throwing. Still is raw though and needs lot of work. Could become a quality player in the system or in the bullpen if he ever gets there.

If Bronson Arroyo needed Tommy John Surgey, anyone who makes their living off of throwing a baseball can. That said it is a low risk/medium upside play that has a feel good story attached to it. Not much to be upset about.
