I'm not arguing that Ober is the answer. Please copy the post from this thread where I said that. I'm saying the type of incentive-laden contract that Maeda signed with a relatively low base salary is an outlier of a contract, and I'm not too worried about quality free agents passing the Twins over if they relegate Maeda to the bullpen soon. If they miss out on an older has-been recovering from TJ that requires a Maeda-type contract just to make the risk more palatable, I'm not going to lose much sleep over it.
