Jeremy Affeldt, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:

- 29 years old, still sort of young
- 7 year Major League veteran
- More strikeouts than innings pitched (3:1 K:BB ratio)
- Decent ERA last year (3.33)
- Can pitch more than 1 inning
- Could be the guy Jack Taschner wasn't

The Bad:

- $8 million for 2 years, like he just won VH1's "I Love Money"
- 9 homeruns allowed last year, about 1 every 9 innings pitched
- Will he just become an Alex Hinshaw the Giants already have?
- Give me $1 million and I'll pitch all you want

The Ugly:
